I think Fifth Third is kind of backing its significance out of GR compared to the post Old Kent days.  In just the past year or two - they sold their building downtown, they stopped sponsoring the River Bank Run, and now this.   I don't think 5/3 has much left in GR that makes it anymore significant than any other bank in the area except for a few extra locations in the metro area.

I was thinking exactly along these lines.  I like the ring of "Old Kent" best, but can't fault the org for selling naming rights.   I mostly just call it "the Ballpark" anyway.
