So somebody from Wallaceburg won the big contest, and the domed
stadium is to be named the Sky Dome.  What do people think?
Apparently the four finalists were
 - Sky Dome
 - Harbour Dome
 - Tower Dome
 - The Dome

I guess "Sky Dome" is pretty good compared to the others, but why does
the word "Dome" have to appear?  Maybe the roof itself could be called
the Sky Dome but I would rather see the stadium called something
without this trendy dome-word in the title.  (Speaking of which, what
the heck is a "Saddledome"? How can something be shaped like a saddle
*and* a dome?)

I would have voted for "Ontario Stadium", which would demonstrate that
it's not just Toronto's facility.

Oh well, it's probably too late.  I remember one proposal that
in the typical Ontario tradition of naming things after 
inappropriate people, the stadium should be named "Glenn Gould Stadium".
