AT&T Park - "The Hell Hole" (remember that XFL fans)
Rangers Ballpark in Arlington - "The Ballpark"
Georgia Dome - "The Bird Cage"

The old Charlotte Coliseum was known as the "Hive"
HP Pavilion, home of the San Jose Sharks is known as the "Shark tank"
Miami arena, which was the old home for the Heat, "Pink elephant"
Memorial Stadium in Clemson, SC is "Death valley"
Some of my own
RBC Center in Raleigh, "Wolf's den" and "Storm center"
Charlotte Bobcats arena, "Greed and corruption built this place"
As badly as OKC has wanted a pro-team and felt they needed one to be a significant city....the relocated Sonics should play in the "Inferiority Complex"
The Ottawa Senators’ home arena, Scotiabank Place (formerly known as the Corel Centre and known as the Palladium before that) is nicknamed “the Vault” by some, and less poetically, “the Skank” by others.
Olympic Stadium in Montreal’s very commonly used nickname in English is the the “Big O”, often spelled sarcastically the “Big Owe”, an allusion to the billion-dollar white elephant that it was.
Stems from its location. Most ballparks are located in true urban areas where they mesh with the city. Not so that place. Its nice in itself, but its location is a logistical nightmare.

Yeah, alot of Dallasites wish the ballpark was closer to downtown Dallas. Me personally, I'm glad the ballpark is where it is because it's closer to us and it's something Tarrant County has Dallas County doesn't have. Next year, we'll also have the Cowboys and the new stadium..... in OUR county.
