jc... Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nissan missed the boat when renaming Tennessee's NFL stadium. Nissan sells a truck called the Titan. The Titans play there. Why is it not called Nissan Titan Stadium?? Two birds, one stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCarp1231 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Not so much that it's a terrible name choice but once the new Falcons Stadium is complete, the naming rights will belong to Mercedes-Benz. What makes it terrible is the Saints Stadium is also called "Mercedes-Benz Super Dome". Two teams in the SAME division with almost the SAME Stadium name... yeeshEDIT: whoops... didn't see neo_prankster's post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it not called Nissan Titan Stadium?? Two birds, one stone.Because people would have just called it "Titans Stadium", defeating the purpose of paying for the rights.

MJWalker45 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Sacramento Kings: Nicely named ARCO Arena eventually became Power Balance Pavilion and now Sleep Train Arena.University of Louisville: KFC Yum! CenterI was gonna vote for Sleep Train Arena, but the Smoothie King Arena tops that. Both sound like anchor tenants in a run-down shopping mall....And both are!

sportstar1212 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I mean, the Windsor Family Credit Union Centre, or WFCU Centre for (not so) short isn't the best...Yeah, I'm not too fond of that one. Also in the O, Saginaw's rink is called the Dow Event Centre, while Flint's is the Dort Event Centre. That's not confusing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 University of Houston's TDECU Stadium. Not only is it an awkward mouthful, it sounds like you're celebrating a score by one of Houston's conference foes.

raysox Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Amalie Arena isn't great, especially when compared to Tampa Bay Times Forum, and Ice Palace. Plus the logo is bad @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I mean, the Windsor Family Credit Union Centre, or WFCU Centre for (not so) short isn't the best...I call it the F.U. Centre, because one- it sounds better, and two- it is f---ed. Everything about it. Location, parking, Should've been built downtown but the mayor had a sweetheart deal with his buddy Farhi, who's now holding out the adjacent land that should be developed for parking lots, hotels, entertainment, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably been mentioned 30 times in this thread or other threads, but this one really exemplifies the problem with corporate naming rights. I mean the damn place has been called: Spectrum II (before they decided to sell the rights) CoreStates Center (2 years) FU Center (5 years) Wachovia Center (7 years) Wells Fargo Center (6 years and counting) It's frustrating watching old highlights and having to think about where the game was played (or at least what it was named at the time.)

TheRicSlick Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Put that stadium anywhere in the country, and people would still emphases the initials. When the Initials are FU, people are going to make jokes about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
