Zetterbeard40 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 So I thought it would be fun to think of some names for the potential new Red Wings Arena. For the past few years, when my brother, friends and I attend games, a common topic that arises is possible names for the New Arena. Always trying to come up with creative and funny names becomes quite ammusing if you're a wings fan. Try and refrain from corporate sponsor names, because, although the Arena will probably be named after its corporate sponsor, its much more fun the other way. Here are a few of our ideas and we'll see where this goes - "Howezerman Arena" (for obvious reasons of course) - "Little Caesars Centre", "Little Casears Palace/Arena" etc. (while this is a corporate name, seeing as how the teams owner also owns our favourite arena pizza, we think its funny) - "The New Olympia" - or the classic, "Red Wings Centre" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunkedUp 29 Report post Posted January 27, 2010 It won't be any of the above. If a new rink is going to be built then Illitch won't be paying for the rink himself. The city will have to pitch in. They will also need to have corporate sponsorship. Sorry guys, but if there is going to be a new rink then it's going to have a sponsored name. I have no idea what company would sponsor it though??? Also, if they do build a new rink (which I'm in favor of) then I hope it's built to be the best. The wings, and the fans, deserve a world class facility, and if the proposed building isn't guaranteed to be the best in the NHL, then I'd rather them stay at the Joe.

I think you guys missed the point of the thread. The OP just wanted to have some fun with names and see what we came up with. It wasn't really a serious thread.
