I like "The Cell", sounds badass
The phonebooth is already Verizon Centre's nickname in Washington.

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

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.

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.
