Yea, it's pretty disgraceful. I think the worst infractions are stadium names and names for events (Ex-Lax Shit Bowl, or what have you). Then broadcasters are obligated to recite the full name every time they refer to it. Gah, it's horrible.
I'm from Baltimore, and I often take pride in the fact that Camden Yards was one of the last (if not *the* last) venue to escape the clutches of a corporate name.
