Depends on the name of the sponsor buying the naming rights. Could be RedBull Arena, Qatar Airways Stadium or the Apple Dome...

Maybe ask here?:

How about:
  • The [SPONSOR] Ironworks Olympic Stadium
This might work:
  • The Westfield Ironworks Olympic Stadium

I'd love it to be the Jiffy Arena.

Whatever its official name is, people will always refer to it as the Olympic stadium...

I don't think there's a ban on calling it the Olympic Stadium. There are plenty of other Olympic Stadiums around the world. Didn't spurs get beat in the Atarturk Olympic Stadium Last night.

Anyway it should be the New Boleyn Stadium.

The London Bowl! Score!!!!

or something like the Sandy Clarke Stadium!

I don't like the idea of it having a sponsors name. Apparently the Reebok Stadium isn't the Reebok Stadium anymore! The McAlpine isn't the McAlpine anymore. Watching Soccer Saturday etc is a nightmare because half the time I don't know where the hell they're talking about! No identity! Boro were one of the first to do it with the Cellnet Riverside Stadium.

But I think we'll all know it as The Olympic Stadium. Pure and simple (Or The New Boleyn)

Can't it be named after David Sullivan, something like the Wankdorf Stadium.
