Okay, this may be a stupid thread - but all barns need a good nickname. It's good karma.

My suggestion is so geeky that nobody will probably like it. But in Arthur C. Clarke's book, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the famous black monolith that signifies the existence of extraterrestrial life and drives the narrative is christened TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly, since in the book it's found in the Tycho crater on the moon).

"The Monolith" sounds like a great arena nickname to me. :D

Geeky? There's got to be a better word for it than that. :laugh: I like the logic though.

I've got a feeling it's just going to develop organically, either based on the team's name or some other other random thing that happens. Who would have ever expected UNLV to play in the Shark Tank? I've just been calling it T-Mobile Arena since it was named, but it is a pain to say. Maybe I'll start calling it The T until something else pops up.

Plus, those monolith things are weird as hell in the movie.

What was on that lot before the arena was built?

Depends how far back you go. It was the Dunes Golf Course a long time ago then it turned into the construction offices for CityCenter. Back when they were built, those buildings were the most expensive temporary buildings in history.

Prior to the recession, the area where T-MA is now as well as the Monte Carlo parking garage was supposed to be Phase 2 of the CityCenter project.

The Round Table
The Magenta Madhouse
The T
The Medieval Madhouse
The Dungeon

I can't stop thinking of madhouses. :laugh:
