The Texas Rangers announced today that they will be renaming their field from Ameriquest Field in Arlington for Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. I am sure that this is merely temporary until they can resell the naming rights. Here’s the blurb from the OC Register:
It had to happen. The Texas Rangers of Arlington said today they’re swapping the name "Ameriquest Field in Arlington" for their baseball stadium to "Rangers Ballpark in Arlington." Ameriquest once spent millions on sports sponsorships and Super Bowl ads (not to mention the half-time show). After two rounds of major layoffs over the past 10 months, Ameriquest’s parent company ACC Capital Holdings of Orange seems to be scaling back its marketing as it prepares to sell certain operations to Citigroup.
This also means that they need to generate some extra revenue to cover the new salary for Michael Young, their shortstop, who just signed a 5-year $80 million contract. Mike was also my college roommate – no big deal!
