Some of them are just horrendous. I understand bowls exist because of corporate sponsors but can't they have a name of the bowl following the sponsor name or something? Like Tostios Fiesta Bowl sounds better than the Tostitos Bowl. The Gator Bowl sounds better than the Taxslayer Bowl.

Too many bowl games as it is and the corporate sponsor names sound ridiculous.

What's the worst one you've heard?
 
I thought (I haven't really thought about before) most of the traditional bowls kept the name, though secondary.

We've gone to the Toyoto Gator Bowl, Fed Ex Orange Bowl and the Allstate Sugar Bowl. (When did the Gator drop "Gator"?)

Is it all the "new" bowls with the goofy names? The Foster Farms Bowl comes to mind.
 
I hate the corporate add on names although it's the same in everything. I understand why but they sound awful and starting at the top of the list is "Papa John's" Cardinal Stadium. The name sucks, it's just that we get used to it.

I liked the days of RFK Stadium in DC, Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Candlestick Park in SF, Three Rivers in Pittsburgh, Mile High Stadium in Denver, The Orange Bowl in Miami etc..
