MisterDangles 65 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Although I agree the name is lame, and wish it was something more directly connected to Wings hockey, everybody in Toledo was up in arms when they named the new Mud Hens park, "Fifth Third Field." Then the new hockey arena was named the, "Huntington Center." Now people don't even think twice about. This will probably pass as well. Maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But seeing as how the Internet exists, not before an unhealthy amount of trolling At least the arena itself will be badass Edited April 28, 2016 by amato 1 NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 The complaining on fb is ridiculous. It could have been named after a bank or something worse but it was named after the owners business who'd have thought smh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 I personally believe that many fans hold the Ilitch family in higher regard, and naming it after one of their businesses only shows that they're like any other owner - $$$ talks. Not that I can blame them - it's their business - just that I too would've preferred something more nostalgic. I understand but ppl had to of known that it wasn't going to be,named the way they wanted it to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plopster 136 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Literally the worst name for an arena right now. I thought Amalie arena was bad. Named after oil. But I can see the commercials now: Arena! Rena! Immediately makes me think of fight club: "When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks." 2 F.Michael and NerveDamage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plopster 136 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 I hate to say it. But it seems as though the wings are going to be just another hockey team after this. The nostalgia and tradition will be gone into corpatism and salary caps 2 F.Michael and roboturner reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 I was hoping for a classic name, but the reality is that people just don't ignore something that valuable, like naming an arena. I'm glad it Little Caesars and not some other company with no roots here. It's a local business with a national footprint. LCA, here we come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingsgirl001 983 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Ehhh... it could have been worse. The LCA rolls nicely off the tongue and I've seen people throwing around "The Oven" as a nickname, which sounds ominous and kind of bad ass. I'll miss not having a corporate name but I can deal with this. Edited April 28, 2016 by wingsgirl001 2 Hockeymom1960 and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kipwinger 8,521 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Maybe it'll garner the nickname 'The Oven'? It probably will, but to be honest those attempts to come up with phoney baloney nicknames are almost as bad as the corporate names themselves. Nicknames have to happen organically, they can't be the result of some marketing strategy. Edited April 28, 2016 by kipwinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Even if you're going to go with Little Caesars, I feel like there's more creative avenues than Little Caesars Arena. Little Caesars Center, or Little Caesars Stadium, or Little Caesar Colosseum all flow off the tongue better. I feel like dropping the "Little" off the name (which is one of the likely directions the nickname will take) sounds more organic this way too. Caeser Stadium. Caser Center. Caesar Arena. The last one just doesn't flow like the first two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
