[edit] Stadium naming
Not sure how User:JaMikePA concluded that the stadium was officially renamed from Lynx Stadium back to Ottawa Stadium. Although the Lynx name has to go at some point, today's Metro article on the Rapids (15 Feb 2008 p2) speculated the facility's name could become Rapids Stadium [1]. In any case, WP page renames need to be based on verifiable sources and official decisions (i.e. WP:V). Dl2000 (talk) 23:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] More stadium name problems - please read before any further renaming or cut & paste
Until there are some available reliable sources indicating a new stadium name, the Ottawa Stadium name should remain for now. Recent edits have introduced some cut & paste problems, and seemed to be based on prediction rather than proof. "Ottawa Stadium" is still mentioned according to recent available citations, and could very well remain the facility's name: Ottawa Business Journal 29 April and CBC 28 April. Before making any further attempts to change this stadium's name, please read WP:CUTPASTE and WP:V. Dl2000 (talk) 02:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- People are definitely jumping the gun on the naming of this article. IMHO, there really isn't an 'official' name for the stadium. It's only had a name for the sake of reporting in the media. It's been up for grabs for the history of the building. I have never seen a sign on the building, on the road, etc. showing the name. (I don't go that often, so forgive me if there is one) Only in the paper or broadcast. Even the trailblazer road signs on the 417 only show the name 'Stadium' on them.

- I should point out there is no sure thing on the name, either. It could become 'Zip Field' or 'Zip.ca Field' for all we know. Ugly name exist - see Jobing.com Arena Alaney2k (talk) 13:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
