Dolphin Stadium, which has not had a corporate name since 2005, likely will complete a naming rights deal with Landshark Lager, a beer brewed by Anheuser-Busch, the stadium's president said Friday morning.

The stadium could be renamed Landshark Stadium, though Dolphin Stadium president Bruce Schulze would not confirm the exact likely new name.

I agree, though I'd hate to end up with a name like Pink Taco Stadium.

Sorry, I believe the only threat that Dolphins have in the open ocean (Besides mankind) is a SHARK! How can we name our stadium after the only predator we face in the wild. Nope Don't like it AT ALL!!!

Not like Heinz field, named after a company that has for a long time been a part of that community.

I agree with the other post, go back to Joe Robbie or leave it as it is.

Man, the Scotsdale one had a great website, don't know where it went

In August 2006, Morton offered $30 million for the naming rights to the Arizona Cardinals' new stadium in Glendale, Arizona.[10] The offer was subsequently rejected by the Cardinals, who dismissed the announcement as a joke and a publicity stunt. On September 28, 2006, Pink Taco launched a similar bid to rename the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans to the Pink Taco Dome. As the State of Louisiana owns the Superdome, any name change must be approved by the Louisiana State Legislature.[11]

I believe most predators, including Sharks, steer clear of Dolphins as they can easily swarm and outnumber them. They have been known to kill Sharks on many occasions. FYI.

I agree Dolphins can kill sharks, but I do believe that Sharks can and have killed them as well. However being that the Dolphin IS the most intelligent mammal on the planet...I am sure they get the better of the sharks!

Im in disbelief that you guys actually think the term "landshark" refers to an actual shark. It's a pretty common phrase that means generally A Male who hangs around beach areas who is out to hit on and pick up ladies.

The Pink Taco Dome? Man I'm glad that didn't go through.

Yep Landshark Lager falls under the blanket of his Margaritaville Tequila family. Gotta give it to the old boy he sure knows how to market his stuff and is a pretty savy businessman.
