I like "The Cell", sounds badass

The phonebooth is already Verizon Centre's nickname in Washington.

I was hoping they'd do something like "Canada Won Gold Here Centre".

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

It's pretty good. They built the world's best indoor coverage network so far and if the 2010 Vancouver Olympics couldn't prove it, I don't know what else will.

Great fit for the canucks & their stanley cup hopes, because it takes a long ass time for rogers to answer ur call.

FerrariEnzo 07-07-2010 12:44 AM

When Orca threatens to cancel the deal in several years time I wonder what kind of retention plan they will get?

That's exactly what they did.. it's official (long) name is "Science World at Telus World of Science. Go to the website, in addition to the URL, they still call it Science World everywhere!

The kiosk

I would imagine that they would pay less for the naming rights given that it is going to be shortened to "Science World" and the impact on their brand would be negligible. No one really associates Science World with Telus.

Read today that BC Place is pimping out their naming rights as well. I would probably assume that Telus would now be very interested in that as an investment.

that would suck if BC place was renamed, beside it's owned by prov government, i doubt it would go through.

Just relaying what I read.

Makes sense..exposure to soccer and football fans. Plus I suspect you will see a lot more other uses for the facility once the renos are done. Open sky concert anyone? BC Place has seating for what 60k? Add to that seating on the field and you could have a concert in town enjoyed by 75k+ people.
