The stadium-naming jinx has been well documented. Enron Field in Houston was renamed Minute Maid Park after Enron’s collapse.

An exception — but up to a point, given its struggle to turn itself around — has been Citigroup, which committed $400 million in 2006 for naming rights to the Mets stadium.
