Speculation: Verizon Center to be renamed Capital One ARENA (official: name changed already)

[RandyHolt]

Hilarious, they changed the name at the last minute.

Good, PPG Paints Arena retains the title of worse arena name. I guess they considered the lessor of 2 evils, that vs Consol Fracking Public Places Arena LLC. I still cannot believe they are fracking at Pitts freaking international airport.

A hype video for an arena name change?

Truly capitalism knows no bounds.

Now we just need to change the name of the team, burn the jerseys and come up with something completely different and just flat out REFUSE to play the penguins in the playoffs.

The Capitals can definitely fail me. They do that every year around May 10-11.

40m possibly going to arena upgrades (food / concessions / etc)

I'm all for better food...the food at Verizon was pretty tame other than a few splurgy options. Nothing special about the chicken tenders, but at least they had Chick FilA (even if it's soggy )

Honest truth is sadly that most major league food you're going to get is going to be of mediocre quality. Lately the big deal for me is eating outside a park and then going inside. Bring sandwiches into Nats Park all the time. Sadly they don't let you do that at Verizon.

Someone on Twitter suggested the ATM.

There are a few nice Chinese restaurants near the corner of H and 7th street. Not to expensive, I went there to stuff my face before the game during my trip to DC.

Start a new chapter, with a new name.

New name, but the roof's still leaking...

How fitting since Capital One pretty much owns me...Three credit cards, checking account, saving account, two car loans and my mortgage....

Now my hockey team!

Capital One has owned your hockey team for a long time. Nothing new here.
