watch it get named jim pattison place or some shit like that

at least any of these would be better than
Telus centre
Telus Stadium
Telus place :(

sounds like shit :rolleyes:

Rogers arena is official

I detest corporate names... its pretty pathetic be classy name it something without your corporate name in it... and plaster a couple corporate logos on the interior if you really want people to know

Rogers Arena huh?

rogers arena?!!? it sucks!

The refs are gonne have even more missed and dropped calls now..

^ hahahaha

^LOL

watch the inside get plastered with rogers posters!

besides, how is the reception in there.. if it has bad reception, man thats gotta be embarrassing.

watch Shaw buy the naming rights to BC Place when its completed.

grosss Rogers Arena... wtf

possible nickname: The Big Ger

Oh well, I'm still going to call it GM Place. Just like how I still call it Science World.

no longer calling it the garage will be weird

i will now cringe when the chinese news reporters with the piss poor accented english call it the "loa jaa see" center

dear god...

BOOO-URNs.

Guess it's better than what Nashville's Stadium used to be called. "GAYLORD ENTERTAINMENT CENTER"

i heard its only 2mil/year for the naming rights. i dont know much about arena/stadium naming rights but 2mil/year is not that much for orca bay ent. they could have had a cooler name like canuck place or sth
