Sharp-eyed colleague Ted Hutton, who was covering Thursday’s Marlins-Atlanta Braves game, looked up about an hour after the game ended and saw the Dolphin Stadium scoreboard outfitted with the LandShark Stadium logo. He snapped this photo quickly – when he looked up again, the image was gone. In anticipation of Friday’s press conference in which Jimmy Buffett and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross are to announce a business deal that is to include the branding of the Dolphins’ home as LandShark Stadium for one season, enjoy.

Dolphins...mammal....LandShark...fish? Well, the first LandShark I remember was Chevy Chase and last time I checked he was a mammal.

I disagree. That's the logo for Landshark. The stadium is being named for the beer, not the team. No other corporate logo has changed to team colors...that would defeat the purpose of product recognition.

I didn't know stating one's opinion made something into a debate. Guess we're supposed to agree on everything.

Wow, did they always. And how far is it from NY to Jersey? The thing with the Angels, originally they were called The Los Angeles Angels and played in L.A. When they moved to Anaheim in 1965 they became The California Angels and played in the Big A. When Disney bought them they renamed them the Anaheim Angels. In 2005 a new owner bought them and renamed them The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, not because they originated from L.A., but because he really thought if he tacked on Los Angeles more people from L.A. would drive all the way down here for games.
