Will Eagles play at Sun Life Field if Lincoln is sold?

Will Eagles play at Sun Life Field if Lincoln is sold?
Joseph N. DiStefano
Lincoln National Corp., the Radnor-based life insurer and annuity sales company that pays for naming rights at the Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field, has worked itself into a position where it's too dependent on the ups and downs of the stock market - it was one of just three insurance companies that got rescued by the U.S. government's TARP bailouts - and that means it's a good candidate for getting sold, maybe to Sun Life Financial, the rival insurer headed by former Lincoln boss Jon Boscia, writes Sanford C. Bernstein research analyst Suneet Klamath. More in Wall St. Journal story here.
As my colleague Mike Armstrong reminds me, the Miami Dolphins already play in a Sun Life stadium.

Comment removed.- Nothing was worse than the F. U. Center— bigphillydad
That would certainly brighten things up.- how about "times yours stadium" where you can have andy try and put you in better positions to make plays— allegrabene
- So there would be Sun Life Stadium in Miami and Sun Life Field in Philly. I doubt it...— Philsin08
- LOL allegrabene— Dtownfan
- Clock management stadium so Andy can see that in big letters and remember that there is time in a game?— HandNik
- Sun life stadium sounds gay— Egomark
- How 'bout Veterans Stadium?— 5280philly

- F. Spadaro Field— Mr. Black
- bigphillydad are you kidding? Nothing was better than the F. U. Center.— mundiff
- One thing that should happen if Lincoln is sold, don't name is after the creaking old piece of junk that was "The Vet". How about leaving it as Psychedeliceous suggest Eagle Field or Stadium sounds good. Lurie can afford doing without some lame corporate sponsor's name on the house. As someone without a great admiration for Jerry Jones, he has the naming of his place of business very correct. Who gives one hoot in hell the name of the field? You go there to watch Eagle football (for better or worse).— drpfs
- i agree with mundiff
- How about Philadelphia Taxpayers Memorial Stadium. Why not honor the people who really footed the bill?
I don't care what they call the stadium. I care if the team is playing well.— hopster- How about the "Gold Standard" Stadium— realtruth
- I have to agree with HandNik's suggestion, "Clock Management Stadium" is perfect......Damn, he's been here how long and he still has tons of clock management issues!!!!— eagles13
- "Gold Stanard" stadium— realtruth
- @psychedelicious: Jerry Jones is desperately trying to fleece a company for naming rights, but nobody's biting at his price. You can guarantee that Jerry will sell those naming rights as soon as anyone offers the right amount. It could be Viagra Stadium if they paid.— echosmyron
- F.U. Field would be great considering how rowdy EAGLES fans can be.— ironlion
- cash rules everything around us,,, get the money Jeffery,, dollar dollar bill y'all. this is the most penny pinching bunch in all of sports,, what else are we to expect ?????????— phillyroni

- How about BP Stadium.— p-diddy
- How about call it the never win a superbowl stadium.— cuso20
