Roly is correct it will always be the Sears Tower. However, it is a shame that they could not keep the name. Having an even more personal affection for the building (my mom worked there for umpteen years) i am sad to hear this news. Given the amount of times the building has been sold in the past two decades they were always able to keep the name.

The Cell will always be Comiskey but it is a shame that generations to come will think of the park as U.S. Cellular Field or now, Willis Tower. It is a shame that we will have to bear with this name. Especially such a crappy one. How much of a joke is the name Willis, thanks to Gary Coleman.

But the saying is correct. The name will not take away from the beauty that is this building. It will not take away from looking over the city from the sky deck and the scariness that is rising in the elevator and feeling the building sway on a windy day.
