"The JJB Stadium has made Wigan known all over the world"

Is an excellent quote.

I think they should erect a massive statue of Mr Whelan at each corner of the stadium - that's how much he's revered.

It was actually Robin Park Stadium for a very brief period, before it became the JJB.

Perhaps in another few years it can be renamed Egos'r'Us.

would be quite funny to have everyone calling the place by the name of a defunct or rival company.

Yeah, but these didn't change their names from another sponsor. Not many people call it the McAlpine Stadium anymore (well, apart from Lee Radford on Sky a few weeks ago!).
