Just out of curiosity, how many different corporate names are we up to now on that stadium? 16? 17? I get that there's some heavy freight that needs to be paid with some of the Giants albatross contracts but this is still a little ridiculous.

Trust me, as someone who got his dream retirement job working on the Giants field the upper management of said Giants, like many, are all about the $$$$$. We have so many field mangling events on that lovely place that I'm rethinking my decision. All in the name of money. They'll change the name of the field every chance they get.
I don't understand the issue here. They changed from ATT to Oracle because ATT had a year left on their contract and told the Giants they weren't going to renew and that the Giants were free to sell off the last year if they found a taker. I think most of the other name changes had to do with corporate acquisitions (company that owned naming rights got bought and thus changed names) that had nothing to do with the Giants.
No issue that should be discussed here. My bad. You're right about the true number of name changes.
