    IT'S ONLY LOGIC THAT WE NAME THE CENTER THAT. PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SHOWROOM AND THE GARAGE. THOSE ARE FOR CARS. WE NEED TO TAKE OFF THIS SEASON IN FULL ROCKET FASHION FRESH FROM THE LAUNCHPAD

    that's because the showroom or the garage would be clever nicknames when considering the building is called the toyota center, not the nasa center.

    Yeah, but what happens a few years down the road when Toyota decides not to renew the naming rights deal? It would be pretty dumb to have a nickname of "The Garage" or "The Showroom" for the Dell Arena or the Sony Center.

    Why not keep this in one thread? No need for multiple threads to discuss the same subject.
