Q If a reporter wanted, could he refer to a baseball stadium by its noncorporate name -- Riverfront, instead of Cinergy Field -- in a story? My friend says that if he did that, the team would revoke his press pass. -- Zack, New York City

A I had my dining room pass lifted by former owner Marge Schott three times for writing something she didn't like, which was a plus because she used to go through the buffet line with her St. Bernard, Schottzie, and lift food with her fingers and hand-feed the pooch. I often referred to the old stadium as Riverfront/ Cinergy -- I just hated using Cinergy Field. Even though the team couldn't revoke a media pass for calling a stadium by its old name, editors prefer you use the correct and accepted name, even though it stinks and is commercialized.
