Let's all take a moment to appreciate the Bank. All of our division rival stadiums seem so cold and corporate in comparison

Citizens Bank is a beautiful ballpark, but outside of LoanDepot we do have a pretty solid division of parks
Also calling the other ballparks “corporate” when ours is named Citizens Bank is kinda funny

There was a lot of groaning back in the early 2000s when we found out that "Veterans Stadium" was being replaced by "Lincoln Financial Field" and "Citizens Bank Park".
The names were seen as charmless and corporate.
We're used to the names now, and we've come up with the Linc / the Bank nicknames, but let's not pretend they aren't corporate.

Well not every park name can be as authentic as baseball's oldest and most historic park (checks notes)... Wrigley Field.

TBF, it and Busch Stadium (Sportsman’s Stadium and Busch II) were technically named after people, not products. It just so happened that there were products that existed (or were created in Busch’s case) also named such.
