Wrigley Field is named after William Wrigley Jr, who is the founder of Wrigley Chewing Gum. But is not part of a stadium naming-rights deal.
Busch Stadium is also a little bit of a grey area, but it is named after the Busch family who own the team and again not part of a naming-rights deal.

The Cleveland Browns play at “Cleveland Browns Stadium” which is obviously preferable to a third-party arena sponsorship. (Or, at least, it would be if it didn’t mean the stadium was named after a historically bad team with a name that is easy to make fun of.)

Several NBA teams’ arena names actually sound pretty cool and you could easily forget they are named after businesses. For example:
The Denver Nuggets play at “Ball Arena”
The Chicago Bulls play at the “United Center”
The Minnesota Timberwolves play at the “Target Center”

The Chicago Bulls play at the “United Center”
The Minnesota Timberwolves play at the “Target Center”

The only NBA team with an arena name arguably worse than the Lakers’ “Crypto.com Arena” is the New Orleans Pelicans who play at “Smoothie King Arena”.

Fun fact, 29 of 30 NBA teams play in arenas named after businesses. The only exception is the New York Knicks who will hopefully play at Madison Square Garden until the end of time.
