It will still be called the Sears tower even if they change it. Same thing happens with areas and stuff. I dont know what they call the place the Blues play anymore. Schott Trade? I still call it Kiel Center, Savvis Center whatever comes out first.

Winston cup, Busch series, and i just call the craftsman trucks, the truck race.  i TRIED to go with the new names, sprint/nationwide.. and whatever the trucks are now.  but i gave up long ago.

The same thing happens with some tracks too.  Atlanta motor speedway hasnt done it yet, but big Bruster decided to call Charlotte MS Lowe's MS.  i still call it Charlotte still tho..
