"MIAMI (Reuters) - Dolphin Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, has been renamed Land Shark Stadium following a sponsorship deal with singer/songwriter and businessman Jimmy Buffett. Buffett's Margaritaville Enterprises includes his LandShark Lager beer and the deal runs to the end of the 2009 NFL season. The stadium which opened in 1987, was previously known as Joe Robbie Stadium and Pro Player Stadium among other names. The rename is the first major change announced by new owner Stephen Ross who replaced Wayne Huizenga as majority owner of the Dolphins and the stadium. The deal does not include naming rights for the venue for the Super Bowl or Pro Bowl games which are scheduled for the Miami stadium next season. As well as the Dolphins, the University of Miami American football team, the Hurricanes, play at the venue along with Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins."

ugh, HORRIBLE... I dont know whats worse, the name or having Jimmy Buffett's horrible music associated with you constantly

wtf. the should have named it big jumbo tron stadium. land shark is fucking horrible

5/8/2009 2:21:25 PM

I'd say the worst part is having your stadium named after a ridiculously over-priced shitty beer. I'll never turn my nose up at someone for drinking shitty beer, but I will think you're an idiot for paying $7-8 dollars for a six pack of a beer of similar quality to coors light.

oh come on, what's wrong with jimmy buffett?

5/8/2009 2:24:10 PM

I just got a great business idea. I'm just going to make a bunch of palm tree stickers and slap them on miller high life bottles then sell it at the same price point as actual beer.

More celebrities with products should buy naming rights for stadiums.

Jessica Alba was raped by a dolphin when she was on some new flipper show as a child!

I think its hilarious when people insult Jimmy Buffett. The guy is very successful and has lived a life a lot of us wish we could. Great idea on his part.

5/11/2009 1:11:43 AM

^ yeah, you are right buddy! no one can criticize anyone that makes more money than them! what were they thinking!

I mean, Paris Hilton jokes are just SO wrong!

5/11/2009 1:14:31 AM

Did you just really try to insult the previous poster by comparing Jimmy Buffett who has made his own empire and lifestyle with Paris Hilton who has been handed everything by her parents? Such a hater. If you dont like his music good for you, but comparing someone who pulls in 70,000 to his concerts to Paris Hilton who has a mtv show searching for a best friend is just hilarious.

5/11/2009 4:22:15 AM

^^^ no, saying that you cant not like someone just because they are successful is crap. There are a lot of people that have made a lot of money because people with bad tastes like it. Has Creed made more money than me and everyone on here? yup... does that mean people cant call their music crap? not at all. Buffett is shit music that people just like because they feel like they are supposed to, "hey yaw, Buffetts in town! woo hoo! lets put on some wacky clothes and knock balloons and beach balls around all night!"

5/11/2009 11:39:46 AM

Good music = subjective.

Do I respect Radiohead? Absoutely. Do I particularly like their music? Hell no. I’m not a Jimmy Buffet fan, but the guy makes music that invites people to have a good time. I might not like it, but I can respect its intent.

And personally, I don't think Landshark is that bad.

5/11/2009 1:36:14 PM

TOO BAD YOU ARE WRONG

I AM A KNOW IT ALL JACKASS

5/11/2009 1:51:32 PM

its horrible...


you know his shit music will be played every damn time out, bananas will be taped all over the stadium, stupid shark fin thing will be going on all the time

5/11/2009 1:51:57 PM

Very intelligent and good post. and Jaybee ...bananas? I guess you have never been to a margaritaville or one of his concerts because where in the HELL does bananas come in with any of it? I've never seen one. Get over yourself dude.

5/12/2009 1:48:27 PM

Jaybee doesn't like margaritas

he prefers banana daiquiris

5/12/2009 2:56:26 PM

More like trouser bananas




And Buffet sings about b-a-n-a-n-a-s in a couple songs

5/12/2009 2:58:16 PM

I have never willingly been because they are horrible. I worked security at concerts during undergrad and had to do a few of his, HORRIBLE. Yanni and Celine Dion were more entertaining.

exactly. And anyways, I just meant the cheesy tropical/beach theme anyways: bananas, palm trees, little umbrellas, etc. "but but but Jaybee, it is miami you know!"
