OrientTillIDie Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Just wondering what the naming of new stadiums was like on the new game. I haven't got far enough on my Boreham Wood save to get a new one built yet but I guess quite a lot of you have. On the last few years games I thought the naming of new stadiums was a bit rubbish to be honest. On FM15 I got Orient promoted to the Prem and the board opted to build a new stadium. However they named it after Stan Charlton who is a club icon rather than Tommy Johnston who is a legend. On FM14 I achieved the same thing and they called my new stadium Leyton Orient Stadium. I mean come on!! Incidentally my favourite ever new stadium was on FM12 when Chelsea (who I wasn't controlling) built a new one and called it the Zola Arena.

FrazT Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 There are a lot of licensing issues with stadium names so it is not as straightforward as it might seem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrientTillIDie Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 Is it kind of randomised then? I only say that because it could've picked a legend to name it after but I picked an icon instead. It doesn't even bother me massively but I've always found it interesting as to how it gets decided Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Coleman Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Researchers can set a list of legends/icons/favoured personnel whom it is acceptable to name a stadium after. If one of those isn't present then the more generic names will be used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner86 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If you make yourself a big enough legend, can you not have the stadium named after you? I'm sure an old housemate had this at Sampdoria Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dllu Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Managers (as in FM players, not characters in the game) have definitely had stadiums named after them before, so yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
