Parrothead alert: Jimmy Buffett inspires new name for Miami Dolphins stadium

Ooh, ooh, will there be free margaritas now?

The Miami Dolphins are renaming their home Landshark Stadium as part of a partnership with singer Jimmy Buffett.

Why Landshark? Buffett’s Margaritaville business empire includes Landshark Lager, brewed by Anheuser-Busch.

This is the fifth time the Dolphins have changed the stadium's name since it opened in 1987. The stadium is also home to the Miami Hurricanes and Florida Marlins.

This new name comes about because Buffet and new Dolphins owner Stephen Ross are buds.

They'll unveil a new logo for the stadium at a private event Friday, where Buffett will perform a song inspired by the Dolphins.

Might we suggest:

"Son of a Son of a Safety."

"Why Don't We Get Drunk in the End Zone."

"Come Monday Morning Quarterback."

The Super Bowl will be played at the stadium next February.

Bet we know what people will be wearing on their heads.
