    I came into this thread thinking this was a Carl type thread and was wondering what skinning guy the place was going to be named after. Seeing that you were being literal, threw me for a loop. Lol. What an awful name for anything let alone stadium.

    It's a casino name. The casino is on an Indian reservation. I live out here at the moment.

    I miss the classic names like the Summit and the Astrodome or Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. I would love if Toyota Center was named after Les Alexander or had a Rocket/NASA related name like Space City Center or something.

    But at least it's not Talking Stick Resort Arena. Good God.

    This beats the Smoothie King Arena. Horrible! lol

    I can't wait for Bangbros.com to buy the naming rights of an arena.

    Man, if I only had enough money to buy naming rights...I'd buy them from Cuban and name his stadium

    Vagisil Stadium

    And the Luxury Box would be the Luxury Douchebag Boxes

    Then I'd name the garage the Satin All-Day Comfort Garage.

    you'd think they'd steer away from that name given the controversy surrounding the redskins
