Bruins, be thankful that Pauley Pavilion will still be called (for now?) Pauley after its renovation. Introducing: Louisville's KFC Yum! Center.

Hmm
I guess “Freedom Hall” was a little too dignified. Do you think if Viagara put up a bid of $15 million the Cards would be playing in the “Bonerdome”?

The very definition of gaudy.

Terrible
It looks like an “Airstream” trailer attached to a “Discount Tire” shop. Maybe that’s what they were going for.
Oh man,
did they really have to tag the logo on the roof?

What I don't understand
is why companies pay millions of dollars for this stuff.
Do they really think that people will eat more fried chicken because their name is on a stadium? Really?
I mean, I get the tax benefits, name recognition, etc…
But really? Hey, I just went to a Laker game and I have a sudden urge to buy some perforated notebooks!
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
Yuck!!!
That’s even worse than when Disney owned the Anaheim Ducks and insisted that Arrowhead Water name their home "The Pond. "
Of course, the Astros home park was known as “Enron Field” for a while…… :)
I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!
What's wrong with "The Pond"?
It has some charm and it has a direct correlation to the team playing there as opposed to some product (like, oh, I don’t know…Honda).
Oh come on.....
“The Ducks swim at The Pond”??? Gag! :) LOL.
Right about Honda, but then how does Staples have anything to do with the Lakers, Clippers or Kings?
I may work with the Waves, but I'm still a Bruin!
It doesn't
That’s part of the reason why I hate the name Staples Center too. In fact as far as pro sports Arenas (current or past) in the U.S., there are only a few names I do like:
Candelstick Park
Soldier Field
Arrowhead Stadium
The Great Western Forum
The Spectrum
The Polo Grounds
The Pond
Camden Yards
The Palace at Auburn Hills
Madison Square Garden
That’s about all I can think of.
Lambeau Field?

Can't get too excited about
any stadium named after a person. Yes, it’s better than being named after a corporation (and in one strange case, a stadium named after both a guy and a corporation nearly has a cool name just based on history, Wrigley) but still.
