Instead of Monster Park field, the San Francisco 49ers have decided to name their home digs, Bill Walsh Field, in honor of the late head coach who passed away recently due to complications with leukemia.
This is an outstanding decision and one that should be celebrated around the league. With all the commercialism going on in the NFL today – especially with stadium names – I think it’s great to see a team honor such a prominent figure like Walsh. I think more teams should honor icons like Walsh, instead of selling out to the highest sponsor just to make a quick buck.
Walsh meant so much to that organization and to the league in general – excellent job 49ers.
