Allen,

Sorry to burst your bubble, but santo doesn't mean ghost. the translation of santo villa would be more like holy city/town. Santo is spanish for saint, saintly, holy, etc. Ghost is a fantasmaand spirit is a espiritu in spanish. So a ghost town would be una villa de fantasmas or la ciudad de los muertos.

Hey there is an idea, city of the dead, ciudad de los muertos, or just CDLM for short. Those who enter never return alive!!! *evil snicker*

OF course santo villa sounds cool and I like the sound of it too. I just thought I would let you know the true meaning of santo villa.

Velocity you could always refer to it as CDLM off-field. Those who have played it would know what it meant and those that haven't would ask what is CDLM, which would inevitably lead to a disscussion of the field and the best type of advertising, word of mouth. THen at the field you could have a sign "Now entering the ciudad de los Muertos, Population 0".
