The Rogers Centre is one of the ugliest stadiums in baseball (but certainly not the ugliest)
In an arbitrary but amusing list of Major League Baseball’s ugliest parks, the Blue Jays’ home stadium netted the number eight spot. Buzzfeed slams the Rogers Centre (which will always be the SkyDome in our hearts, corporate sponsorship ownership be damned!) as “a relic of another time,” but we’ve always had a fondness for its dated charm. And doesn’t the world’s first fully retractable roof count for anything? We’re not too upset, though—we’re too busy feeling sorry for fans in Miami, forced to stare at a flamingo-encrusted monstrosity night after night. Read the entire story [Buzzfeed] »

It’s not corporate sponsorship if they own the building now. It’s their stadium. They don’t pay anyone to put their name on it.
I don’t know what’s this thing with being ugly, I think it’s all buzz created by a developper who wants to justify demolition and getting some prime real estate on the cheap. Obviously you guys haven’t seen ugly things in your life if you think skydome is ugly.
