BC Place Will Also Be Renamed!
 
Was watching Sportsnet Connected East just now and Don Taylor just said that BC Place will definitely be renamed with a corporate sponsor by the time it opens up after the new retractable roof is put in...

It would be funny if Telus bought the naming rights to it... you would have Telus stadium right next to Rogers Arena...

Don Taylor joked that the front runner was Brave Bull's House of Steaks Dome. :lol

That place is awesome. I'd rather have that than any big name corporation. Such a Vancouver landmark.

LOL @ people who bitch about tax payers dollars being wasted to update BC Place, then complain more when costs are reduced by selling the naming rights to a sponsor.

McDonalds could name it after their Vancouver landmark, the McBarge

You know, it's only really annoying when they change the name so significantly, that things get confusing.

A great example of the RIGHT way to do it, is with Science World: the full name, since they got Telus sponsorship, is "Science World at TELUS World of Science"... but they still just go by "Science World", which is what it's been since it was built. When Telus bought sponsorship, they didn't force a wholesale name change - they embedded their name subtly.

"Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field" is another good one - the home of the Roughriders has always been Taylor Field... and it still is.

I'm with this guy. To hell with the big 3!


Call it the "Wind Sphere".

Side Note:
-----------

You guys should be backing Wind as soon as its possible for you (some may still have contracts)!! Reason being, yes I agree that Rogers is releasing a unlimited service called Chat-r in order to compete with Wind...but consider this... If everyone signs up with "Chat-r" instead of Wind, we will all actually lose, because eventually Wind will go out of business, MEANING no longer any competition threatening Rogers.... meaning they will get rid of the "Chat-r" and go back to what they are good at....charging at ridiculously high rates!

It will be interesting to see if Telus wins the naming right for BC place because it will be the home for Vancouver Whitecap after they jump to MLS and Whitecap's shirt sponsor will be Bell....

They can name BC Place whatever they want as long as they leave the name Stanley Park alone.
