Pepsi Center renamed to Ball Arena

[PuckThumper11]

It takes stones to play at Ball Arena...

 

[PuckThumper11]

Wouldn't Puck Arena make more sense? For puck's sake...

 

[Three On Zero]

Well now they can call it "The Sack".

We will see some tough battles in the sack this year, one side will get pounded

 

[NeverBeNormal]

Some good work as always HF but honestly I'm shocked and disappointed that I have to let everyone know that the Avs have FINALLY put their balls on the table.

 

[DearDiary]

Gaylord Entertainment Center is still unbeaten in my books

Just need Gaylord Focker to show up to Ball Arena at Dicks Sporting Goods Park

 

[Leafs87]

Dick's Sporting Goods Park and Ball Arena

This city.... smh

Should of just combined the two. Dick and ball arena

 

[Ceremony]

Never thought I'd be so happy to have an arena named after a paint brand, but this is the world we live in now. Oi.

The mason jar company? I mean, they're a good product but they're kinda meant to be the thing you buy four of once and then use for decades unless you're, like, pickling peppers or something...in which case I swear I've only ever seen Ball's mason jars on store shelves so I'm not sure it's a brand that even needs advertised. Their aerospace stuff is irrelevant here...there's a reason it's PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and not simply PPG Arena...that reason being that hockey fans are infinitely more likely to buy paint than industrial-strength glass products. I have mason jars in my cupboard (Ball's distinct logo imprinted onto their sides), but avionics isn't going to be on any shopping list for anyone here anytime soon. This is just a weird one in general, though it wouldn't feel out of place amidst the NBA's long list of utterly random naming rights of the past couple decades.


The fact Denver now has Ball Arena and Dick's Sporting Goods Park is just too good, though. At least Ball is locally based.

Ball Corp & KSE Announce Global Partnership to Advance Sustainability

Ball, a leader in cutting-edge aluminum beverage packaging, as well as climate monitoring and weather forecasting technologies through the Ball Aerospace business, has made sustainability foundational to its business, operations and products.

It is also available at the University of Colorado Boulder's Folsom Field and at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, among other major venues. KSE is a natural partner as Ball seeks to expand the cups' reach and provide an infinitely recyclable solution to sports fans, concert-goers and consumers around the globe.

Throughout the life of the partnership, Ball and KSE will develop and implement fan-facing activities in all three venues, and focus on educational and recycling infrastructure programs for the surrounding local communities to celebrate and encourage aluminum recycling - an everyday sustainable choice for consumers and a cornerstone of making a circular economy a reality.

Now the Nuggets should try and obtain someone from the Ball family. Maybe LonzAir Ball?

Or the the Avs can sign Dennis Grebeshkov? ( )
.

Thanks for reminding me about that one. Watching that live hurt me, crazy he came back in that game.

But with pucks

The memories:

What’s the best way to get fans fired up for an NHL home opener?

Hold up — save your breath. Because whatever you are thinking is wrong.

Instead the answer is gigantic, inflatable balls falling from the rafters to be thrown, punched and kicked amongst fans.

The Ottawa Senators must have heard that large balls were all the rage when they planned a pregame show to remember against the Chicago Blackhawks at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday night. While the music was blaring and the light show amazed audiences during the pregame, dozens of spherical injury hazards fell from the sky, striking victims that weren’t paying attention — or had just underestimated the projectiles’ size and weight.

Did the Senators drop the ball at their home opener?

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

The testicle spectacle

 

[Nasti]

Playing at Ball Arena will no doubt be a big testy for any team.

 

[CanadianCoyote]

So when they lose, their fans are officially blueBalled. :p

 

[SotasicA]

Now my wife can tell her girlfriends I took her to a ball in the weekend.

What do you have against Focker?

 

[Ncit3]

Joking aside, why did the Avs get new name? Pepsi not interested in sponsoring them anymore? Does it impact possible relocation of the team?

Avs aren't going anywhere. One of the more represented American teams. Great location in Denver. We'd see Florida, Arizona, Carolina, or a myriad of other teams move before the Avs name ever came up.

 

[Lt Dan]

As bad as this is, it is a fraction as bad as Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena

This means that Ball outbid Pepsi, nothing more

"The partnership was founded on a shared vision to advance sustainability in sports and entertainment by strengthening in-venue aluminum recycling, providing fans with a more environmentally friendly fan experience and showcasing aluminum beverage packaging as the most sustainable choice," said Ball Corporation in a news release.

I still believe that it was more about $$$ than what was said above

Keith up the ice, dekes, offside, Toews was over the blue ballsLINE... blue line.

 

[57special]

Hockey is one of the few major team sports that doesn't use a ball, so this is awkward.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Nvm.
Agreement reached to keep Nuggets, Avalanche in Denver through 2040

 

[Voight]

Hope they play these two songs at least once a game

How much money is the question, I would have to imagine if they outbid Pepsi they paid a lot.

errrr

Kessel to Avs?

Underrated post!
