The_Admiral Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I remember seeing some press clippings that said a heavily remodeled Met Center would be renamed "The Arena of the Stars." I would have been down with a new barn being named North Star Stadium as a Twin Cities answer to the Chicago Stadium and also a hockey answer to Yankee Stadium. I believe I've also proposed "The Polaris" as a backdoor naming-rights scenario for a North Stars arena. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Comet Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'd add to that list of New York arenas for the B Squads of the town: Nets: Ebbets Center (IIRC the site where Barclays Center is was allegedly going to be the site of the Brooklyn Dodgers's Domed Stadium). Plus, I want the memory of Ebbets to live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The T-Wolves don't really have any connection to the Met Center. If anything, New Met Center would work for the Wild. For the T-Wolves, maybe the Mikan Center or just Minneapolis Stadium (and then informally referred to as "the Den") Saints might try something quirkier. I can't really think of what that might be though.

Wisconsin Entertainment & Sports Complex was the venue's brief, but original name. Milwaukee Forum... I just refer to it as "The Forum" as it is. Great Midwest Forum... there's even a Great Midwest Bank in Wisconsin who could buy naming rights that wouldn't suck.Admirals/UWM UWM MECCA Arena... it still baffles and frustrates me that UWM botched the chance to directly associate itself with the history of that building.
