Now this is really getting a tad bit ridiculous. The Rockets just cant seem to please anyone now a days. Fans ask for simple logo, they give them simple logo that looks good and clean compared to flying dildo, and fans STILL have a cow. Now, they strike a deal with a major INTERNATIONAL corporation to form a name that actually sounds good for once, and STILL fans have a cow. Can we please cut the Rockets org a little slack. They do deserve it. What's wrong with Toyota Center? it sounds classy and rolls of the tongue a bit too. It couldve been much worse. We could have ended up with GalleryFunriture.com Coliseum or something aweful like that. Just be happy with what you have got and learn to apprecaite it.
I don't care what it's called - it's not gonna be as bad as Minute Maid Park, the worst name of all-time. Anyways, anything besides the Summit/Compaq Centre, it doesn't matter where or what it's called to me, that was the worst place in the whole league.
Is it me or does Minute Maid seem to remind me of MINUTE MAN. That not good for any man, much less a baseball team filled with men, to be affiliated with. Not good at all. Thank goodness I have yet to see on of those jokes made yet.
Because that is an extension of the Toyota brand name. Why name a building after one of your extensions when you can name it after yourself and use it to market your brand of products including your brand name extensions like Lexus? That's what Toyota was thinking and from a marketing standpoint, its a damn good strategy. The Lexus brand name is rumored to be used for the club section and suites.
Guys, Les probably got a nice fat payday on this one. Every major asian company should have been begging for the naming rights. After all this is Yao's city now. Get on board. This is a good thing.
Holy crap I just saw that. Oh well, my extension is big enough to have its own time zone so I guess I should sell the naming rights to it. Playboy would probably pay top dollar.
