SEATTLE (AP) — The new logo for the Seahawks stadium in Seattle being unveiled Thursday says CenturyLink Field, but some fans say they’ll call it the Clink.

When CenturyLink purchased Qwest in April the telecommunications compnay also took over the naming rights contract for the stadium where the Sounders also play. Qwest Field is history.

The Seattle Times conducted a survey of what readers would nickname CenturyLink Field. Many favored the Clink. Others suggested C-Link (slink) or the Link.
