Dolphin Stadium officially becomes Sun Life Stadium on Wednesday
As expected, Dolphin Stadium will be renamed Sun Life Stadium as part of a deal that the Dolphins struck with a Canadian financial services firm, industry officials said Monday.

The name change will happen before the Jan. 31 Pro Bowl and Feb. 7 Super Bowl. The five-year deal reportedly averages out to $7.5 million annually.

so does this mean they'll retire the godawful version of Fins as well as the old name? Maybe, it being Sun-Life, a Canadian company, they can get Bryan Adams to write something almost as bad.

this is how I see it...........
Since Jimmy doesn't have to shell out millions for naming rights to the stadium, this should mean concert tickets will be cheaper this year........that's how I see it.
