The San Francisco Giants rename their stadium as a result of continuous changes in the corporate world that pay handsomely for sports naming rights, giving the stadium its third identity since its opening in 2000. The Giants’ ballpark is changing its name to AT&T Park beginning in March. The stadium was originally called “Pacific Bell Park” and was later renamed “SBC Park”. The ballpark is scheduled to host the 2007 All-Star Game.
