I’ve got a few I do this with too 
. I still refer to that ugly ass Audi dealership looking/air conditioning unit looking stadium in the New Jersey swamps as giants stadium even though it’s a new building (they really couldn’t even come up with a better first name than new meadowlands stadium so I’ll just stick with the old one). I still call the Heat’s arena the AAA, still refer to the lakers arena as staples, still call the Lightning’s arena the ice palace, still call the blue jays stadium the skydome, the chiefs building as arrowhead, and I still refer to the stadiums in Seattle as quest field and safeco field.

A lot of these buildings aren’t the ones in use right now though. Chicago stadium hasn’t been used in ages. Same goes for the palace of auburn hills, the nets old arena in the meadowlands, turner field, shea stadium, the Houston astrodome (which really should be used for something since it’s a national landmark), and the Nassau coliseum. It really drives me nuts that the coliseum isn’t being used right now. I drive past it all the time and their current arena is great, but it never took me more than 15 minutes to get out of the parking lot after and islanders game in Uniondale since there’s so many ways out of that lot.

It’s a different stadium so calling it Giants Stadium doesn’t make sense

They never gave it a proper name so a lot of people never took to the new name. It took a year or two for them to find a sponsor so it was just “new meadowlands arena” for a year or two, which is as much a placeholder name as I’ve ever heard. It’s especially the case with jets fans I know since they almost got their own building in Manhattan before that fell through. They did refer to it as “jetlife” for a bit but they fell off a cliff almost right after moving in so that name would carry a lot of negativity with it

They renovated it 5-7 years ago nowIt's a dump
. At this point I can barely remember what it used to look like before that.
Not New Yorkers. Just a few Coli members from New York. Most people I know call it MetLife Stadium.
Giants Stadium was demolished; MetLife is a new stadium. Calling it "Giants Stadium" doesn't make sense lol.
The full name is "GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium".Hold up.
The Chiefs don’t play in Arrowhead?
When was this?
Only people who can't move on.
We are literally watching the development of young men turning into old men yelling at clouds.
