There is a petition circualting in Baltimore to rename Ravens Stadium (once called PSINET Stadium) Unitas Field. Nice ring to it and a fitting tribute to one of Baltimore's (and the NFL's) greatest stars.
I doubt it will happen though. As far asI know no team in a major sport has ever named a stadium after a player----and there was a movement to name the baseball Stadium after Babe Ruth who grew up in its shadow but it fizzled out. Perhaps more importantly there goes the revenue from naming rights.
But I like the idea. And I was never a Colts fan. But I like the idea.
