All these names are transitory.

Here today gone tomorrow.
That is why we should always refer to stadiums by their generic names.
Docklands, Princes Park, Kardinia Park etc.
What sense will people make of historical records referring to a game at Colonial Stadium, Optus Oval etc.?
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Amen! I don't see a cent of their advertising dollar, so why should I b e referring to it by its corporate name and giving the company a whole lot of free advertising? No way!
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.
Unfortunately it's the way of the world nowadays and a way to stay abreast in the corporate world. I'm sure that some people have sold their a55e5 to make a few extra quid. Not sure for naming rights though.

But then again....
True, they can call it what they like. But so can I.

It's not a dome and never has been, it's got a flat roof.
I dont care if its got a triangle shaped roof it was called the Dome when I saw us beat Brisbane in 03, it was called the Dome in 04 when we won the Pre Season Cup and it was the Dome when we pumped Essendon to secure 4th so it will always be the Dome for me
