Pepsi Center renamed to Ball Arena

[njdevils1982]

Hedo Turkoglu has been hired as the new arena's spokesperson:

 

[Legionnaire]

That's nuts!

 

[Fantomas]

 

[Groo]

 

[Hasbro]

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

Their contract was probably up and no.

Lame, Pepsi Center is one of the few corporate names in the world of sports arenas I can get behind as Pepsi is a favorite product of mine.

Ball Arena sounds like one of those shitty music venues in a part of town that used to be bad but is coming back.

 

[aufheben]

Bad gets...badder.

 

[Boreal]

Please tell me that all Avs fans wear blue in the playoffs. Make it be true!

 

[bigdirty]

Ball is slang for testicle.

Why does glass jar manufacturer need to sponsor a sports arena?

 

[North Cole]

Wonder what the cup check/60 will be.

 

[pbgoalie]

What did one cannibal say to the other at dinner?
(friend) I’m having a ball!
Other friend (whoa! Slow down!)

ba dum dum (cymbal)

 

[HabsDood]

What does ball has to do with puck?

 

[HabsDood]

This one hurts..

 

[Kuljeskelen]

I would've liked to see Pepsi come up with 3rd bottle design with Avs logo in it. Guess that won't happen now, but maybe Avs logo on... balls? For promotion stuff?

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

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

Will the Avs become stiffer competition for the league this year??

Shame that balls isnt a favourite products of yours.

 

[1Dimensional2WayFrwd]

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

You should see that sport they are calling football in NA.

 

[SpezDispenser]

That's nuts!

Oh bahahaha!

 

[Legionnaire]

Oh bahahaha!

Yes. I am cheesy like that sometimes.

 

[Puckstop40]

The team/oVG wanted to be so anti-cooperate arena name and this is what they went with. They bragged about being anti-cooperate arena name when it got announced. So yea be careful of what you wish for when wanting non cooperate names.

I’d expect nothing less from that city

 

[Aurinko]

Itsa ballsy move.

Im sure those immature AV's commentators will feast on this for years to come.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I hope it gets called the scrotodome ahahahah
