Good

 

[Cor]

Gross. Just gross.

 

[fahad203]

Oh heL#$ NO........

ScotiaBank Center? ................... Ewwwwwwwwww

 

[Loosie]

That's going to take some getting used to. It's been ACC since opening in 1999.

 

[Cor]

This may be a decent reason

 

[ACC1224]

It will always be the ACC down the street from Skydome.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Nope. Rogers Center will always be Skydome, and Scotiabank Arena will always be the ACC

 

[fahad203]

This may be a decent reason

It's a very good reason. I still don't like the name

Please tell me they'll put that money back into the actual arena.

I am almost tired of seeing those Fords parked outside. We need something more hockeyish and appealing that Ford Escorts

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Disgusting.

 

[Stephen]

Why don't they call it the Scotiabank Gardens?

 

[fahad203]

Disgusting.

I don't care for the name personally. I didn't like Air Canada Center when they first opened up either back in 99.

I was so used to saying, we are playing at the Gardens tonight

I miss that so much, Maple Leafs Gardens on College. It had such a old school classy touch

Going to the Scotiabank center........... just doesn't roll off your tongue

Apparently Air Canada only paid 4 million a year. Scotiabank is paying 40 million a year lmao

 

[Pi]

Wow. 40 million dollars a year. Crazy even if it is in CAD.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This sucks. Air Canada Centre can be so nicely abbreviated. ACC just sounds good. What are we supposed to call the Scotiabank Arena for short (keep your clever "the Scotiabank Arena. Duh" jokes to yourself). The SBA? The Arena? Blech.

That's insane amount of money. 4 to 40.....
Makes every sense to me to be honest. I still don't like it but whatever.

I get keeping with "Skydome", but insisting it's ACC is a little weird. It's just one corporate name to another

Why don't they call it the Scotiabank Gardens?

This was the first thought I had too...

 

[meenamjah]

just boycott the stupid name and call it maple leaf gardens instead? personally, skydome will forever be skydome.

 

[Rob Brown]

Ew. Just...ew.

 

[taurine330]

Don't like it. At all.

 

[Mugzy97]

Every arena is being called Scotiabank Arena these days... Same as the Metro Centre here in Halifax which was renamed Scotiabank centre a few years ago.. I still call it the Metro Centre.

Not at all.
Air Canada was the corporate name, ACC is where the Leafs play.

 

[SprDaVE]

Who cares?

Going down to the bank.
Tonight at the bank.
Leafs/Raptors win at the bank.
The Bank.
