Amazon Is Leading Contender To Land Naming Rights To Seattle Arena

Basically says the same thing but minus the paywall

Not surprising given the connections of the ownership group to Amazon.

I guess we'll hear this quite a lot in the new arena.

I’ve been hoping for Amazon just for this reason. As far as arena nicknames go, the Amazon or the Jungle would be one of the better ones.

Unless they have an investment to gain access to things like payment processing, biometrics, agreement to purchase building materials through AMZN business, etc etc. They could pay more for leasing rights actually if they can make more money out of the deal in other ways.

First of all that isn't constitutionally legal (you can't single out any company and only tax them) and second of all that's nonsense.

Uh, it wasn't meant to be serious.

Why not just call the team the Seattle Amazons?
