Naming The New Arena Suggestion

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I'm OK with naming it after Howe. But I'm totally against naming it after Illitch. I don't think a city owned facility in a bankrupt city should be named after a guy who owes millions in back taxes to said city. Pay up and then we will talk Mike.

In today's PC world, that would be considered racist. Could you imagine the protest's and demonstrations outside of that place? Sheesh!

Not only would it be "considered" racist, it would actually BE racist considering not all indigenous people are the same and most of them (including Tootoo and is ancestors) didn't live in teepees. Good catch.

I've also always been partial to The Delta Centre.

I know there used to be a Delta Center in Salt Lake, but that has since been long gone and that was way back when Delta Airlines had 1.75 feet in the grave. Now, since the merger and the work ethic and philosophy's of Northwest Airlines employees and leaders have turned Delta into a $6B a year in profits airline, plus being by far one of the largest company's in the Detroit area, it would be a great idea to bring the name back. Especially if Ilitch goes the corporate route with naming.

The Cadillac Centre (Named for the founder of Detroit, not just the car, although if it was just the car, that would be ok too!)

The Delta Centre

The Ilitch Centre for Entertainment Arena (The ICE Arena)

Those are my three idea's and I really like them. Wonder how long until we hear an official word of its name...
