aubtigerfan21 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 This is the name Weegle proposed for the name of the new arena. I am supporting this 100%. I hope this can get to Jay Jacobs somehow, so this can happen. He was the greatest and deserves this tribute. Weegle this is a great idea. UPDATE: I think the best chance for the name change is the updated one. With all of the scoreboards and walls already showing Auburn Arena, it would probably be easier to change it to The Jim Fyffe Auburn Arena or Jim Fyffe Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ2144 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I think the plan is to leave the building named, Auburn Arena. Now the floor I have not heard a name for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson-Sullivan 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 The plan was originally to go corporate with the naming. They've yet to find a suiter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,452 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I agree with the possible idea of naming the court for him. Not sure about the arena itself though. I do hope however that when a corporate sponsor is unveiled the arena would still have Auburn Arena in the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnEngineer 0 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I Personally like "Auburn Arena" , the name is already up on the building, I'm sure it will stay that way for at least 5 years unless a Big Time Corporate sponsor wants to pay to have it changed. The Floor of the arena like everyone else has stated could be named in his honor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82be 14,452 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Auburn Arena should stay but for example since Hyundai has a production plant nearby, if they decided to purchase naming rights then call it the Hyundai Auburn Arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubtigerfan21 0 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 I really don't want the arena to be named after a cooperate sponsor. I think it takes away from the family emphasis all of out coaches are praising to recruits. The results of the family emphasis cannot be denied. I think that the arena should stay Auburn Arena or be dedicated to a former great. I hope JJ understands the consequences that come along with the cooperate sponsor even though it brings in big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr 0 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I like Auburn Arena....in keeping with the Auburn Family Tradition. I would also support the floor naming in honor of Jim Fyffe; he was an AUsome part of Auburn history and should be honored...jmo. I'm not in favor of Hyundai Auburn Arena at all....even though they are a big time corporate sponsor, I hope this doesn't happen. This arena belongs to Auburn and the Auburn family, not Hyundai.

AuburnEngineer 0 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 No one likes the idea of a corporate sponsor on our walls but frankly if it pays the bills do it. The arena cost nearly 100 million so if they want to pay millions to have their name up there I am all for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starla ^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^ Auburn is a family that takes care of itself!!!! Do we not? Why the hell bring in a corporate sponsor.......? sure the $$ is Great but the sponsor is not our family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless, of course, the sponsor is an Auburn Grad and keeps the name Auburn Arena and names the court or atleast something in the facility after """""Jim Fyffe""""......This guy was AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!! If, auburn decides to get a sponsor they must guarantee the Auburn Arena name stays the same(with no BS like Verizon Auburn Arena) and something be named for Jim fyffe......... gonna stop now fixing to get started....

Boodaddy 0 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why can't we name the floor in the new arena & the football press box after Jim. No one whoever stepped foot on campus loved Auburn anymore than Jim Fyffe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The SandMntTiger 9 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why can't we name the floor in the new arena & the football press box after Jim. No one whoever stepped foot on campus loved Auburn anymore than Jim Fyffe. If I'm not mistaken, The football press box is already named after David Housel. I do agree it would be nice to see Jim's name at either place, though. A great Auburn Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I'm in full support of naming our new arena to the Jim Fyffe Memorial Arena or even the Jim Fyffe Arena. Jim was an Auburn man through and through and must NEVER forget that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
