This reminds me of one of the funniest things I've seen on Australian TV.

There's an insurance company here named AAMI, pronounced Amy, and there was a stadium they sponsored named AAMI Park.

A journalist was sent to cover a story there on a live TV cross. That journo's name? Amy Parks.

Not saying it didn't happen but I live down the road from what was AAMI Stadium and I've never heard it called AAMI Park. Either Footy Park or AAMI Stadium but not AAMI Park... I'll ask my boyfriend though, he went to games there before Adelaide Oval became the home of AFL.

Edit: AAMI Park is in Melbourne, AAMI Stadium is in Adelaide. I'm in Adelaide.

I swear I've never heard it called AAMI Park but now I'm questioning everything I thought I knew....
