I don't think it really matters because the people will call it whatever they want anyway. In Phoenix we have Bank One ballpark (the BOB), even though it officially became Chase Field a couple years ago.

We still have Squaw Peak and Squaw Peak Parkway even though our former govenor (current head of homeland security) ramrodded a name change through more than five years ago.

Even on a smaller scale we call a particular soccer facility "wallball" even though that name changed about 20 years ago.
