New Arena Name

[kevinpate]

Maybe we oughta just call it the Clay Pit and be done with it?

[metro]

What if all the OKC energy companies banded together with their monies and tied the name to the overall industry and market OKC as the energy capital of the US..........simply call it the Oklahoma City Energy Center. I know that would never happen with corporate america and egos involved, not to mention how they would decide who gave what amount, but just a thought.

It would be a waste of money. Everyone knows Housron is the real capital and would make us look even more like wanna bees

Ha!!! I would totally go there more often if it was called the Fields Pecan Pie Center... that sounds pretty tasty! Toby Keith's I Love This Arena...bwahahha good one!!!

Stop being dramatic and premature.

I think the winner will be Thunderdome...and Mel Gibson, who is looking for work, will be used at the naming ceremony...

[jmarkross]

Century Martial Arts Dome, Tinker Federal Credit Union Arena, Loves Travel and Rest Center Dome, Paycom Center, My Dentist Dome, Homeland Center, Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy Center

I like the Homeland Center...imagine...the whole crowd of 20,000 swaying with locked arms singing that catchy funeral dirge ditty they use in TV ads... "HOAM-LAYAND where Freshness is the Best"......and after each win--the crowd roars it out in unison...makes me misty-eyed...the glory...

[HOT ROD]

it's not a dome, as in domed stadium.

Ford Center really is a true arena, designed that way from scratch.

[king183]

By Zeus, is there any news on the new name? What's taking so long? Down economy?

[metro]

Guarantee it will posted here immediately upon news, probably before the other media outlets

[OKCisOK4me]

I don't know, but I think it's sad, cause I still reference it as the Ford Center all the time. Screw OKC Arena. Wee bit generic!

[Easy180]

Wonder if the Thunder are waiting for all the improvements to be completed to fetch top dollar?...Sure the potential name buyers know they will be done but ya never know in this economy

The deal has been signed to my knowledge. It's going to be a bank.

Did you even read the article? It was about the bank, not about the bank getting the naming rights...

I read it about the bank. Looks like someone pulled a fast one on us. :-/

[kevinpate]

Just some light joshing and harmless leg pulling. For threads with zero fun or even negative3 levelsof fun, hang out over at the polyticks area.

[jn1780]

I don't know who would want to pay whatever the Thunder are asking for when there is a medium to high chance the arena will be empty half the time next year with a NBA lockout.

No, Thunder, they were being serious. It actually is going to be the Redneck Bank Barn. They put up the money so they can name it whatever they want.

I don't think Redneck Bank have that sort of money.

[metro]

How about Thunder troll arena?

Would have to be MidFirst then...Would be weird to be the official bank of the Thunder playing in the BancFirst Arena
