    Isn't there like a Computer Associates Field and an American Airlines Arena. Comparatively, Toyota Center doesn't sound that bad.

    It reminds me of that line from the movie "Forget Paris" that Billy Crystal's character's father kept saying...

    "You ask for it...

    You got it...

    Toyota!"

    Let's just hope there's a reason to name it the "showroom floor" as a nickname.;)

    Oh what a feeling!

    Too bad it wasnt Pappa's Arena.

    The Powerdancers could have been renamed the Mommas or mommacitas

    You guys need to settle down on the name of the arena. At least the Rockets will be playing in Houston instead of Baltimore, MD. Who cares what they call it as long as they (the Rockets) win. This is much ado about nothing. Get a life!

    In the Korean conflict, millions of Chinese soldiers helped North Korea turing what would have been a short victory for us into a bloody, drawn out war that resulted in North Korea still threatening the world today. So what? History should be learned from, but it shouldn't be used to hold grudges. Do you honestly think that the Chinese don't export to Japan or use japanese products in China? They might sound pissed on the record to show pride or whatever, but if they can put up with their guy making millions here in a country they denounce, the can live with Toyota Center.

    Besides, we have already had one name that went bankrupt. I'm sure Continental will survive, but they are really suffering. Landry's? You kidding me? Why not Pappasito's Arena?
