Justin5 20 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The school could save a ton of money if they sell the naming rights. Why I would prefer to simply not name it, these things do happen. Sitting around for a couple of seconds led me to come up with the following: Playstation Arena/Center/Palace Underarmor House (kind of a joke ) Anybody got any other ideas?

bigsixfive 327 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 How about: Tiffin Motorhomes Center For Children Who Can't Play Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too We're talking about the Bamaham dome where all the former uat players are going to play, right?

Guest Tigrinum Major Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I think he is talking about the new roundball arena. I am still partial to Momma Goldberg Court at the War Eagle Supper Club Fieldhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autkidd 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Whatever the name... I still think we should nickname it "The Barn"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowegl 4 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 We could include the ending fieldhouse instead of arena. I think that would be appropriate, and then a barn nickname could ensue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWarEagle 0 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm okay with naming the arena after an individual who donats money, especially if he or she is an alum. But corporate sponsorship of college venues sucks. Plain and simple. PaPa John's Stadium in Louisville? Ridiculous. The Carrier Dome at Syracuse? Dumb. And soon the University of Minnesota will play in something called the "TCF Bank Stadium". Worst. College. Stadium. Name. Ever. It is one thing for the pro leagues to sell out, but when colleges sell out to corporations I can't stand it. I would like Sir Charles to pony up a gift and we could have the Barkley Coliseum.

kwagoner 214 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I hate the corporate crap. The traditional bowl games loosing their names to CapitalOne Chic Fil A or whatever. Take Troy for instance. They play in Movie Gallery Stadium, but they don't have big time donors or high ticket sales, so they probably needed to. We shouldn't sell out when we have the means, donors, and tradition to build on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsixfive 327 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 AU has historically had some good teams. We're just down with respect to basketball right now. Its not the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwagoner 214 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 What tradition in Basketball? I'm not saying it is a rich tradition, but there is some there to build on. The point I was trying to make is that Troy started off from crap and had to have Movie Gallery come in and we shouldn't have to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCWarEagle 0 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Auburn is certainly not a top tier basketball program, but there have been spots of accomplishment. We have won a couple of SEC Championships and an SEC Tournament Championship. We have eight NCAA Tourney apperances, with (I believe) four Sweet Sixteen appearances and a trip to the Elite Eight. And obviously Charles Barkley is one of the top fifty best NBA players of all time. No one is going to confuse us with UCLA, Kentucky, Duke or UNC, but there are things there to be proud of, and I agree that Auburn has a rich enough athletic tradition (and profitable enough athletic department) that we don't need to attach a corporate name to our new arena.

Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think we should call it the house that Cliff built. After all we're all about naming things after coaches that got us on probation. I mean Pat Dye Field rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
