The stadium should be named for the entity it is serving, ie: Harris County Domed Stadium (aka Astrodome). 2) As for Baron Davis, I can certainly understand him wanting to get out of Oakland while he's still vertical and breathing, but to the Clippers?? And since he signed immediately with them, don't you think there was a lot of backroom negotiations going on before negotiations were allowed?? Nah, that would never happen.
