Prognosticating Names

Once again, I will break out my magic 8 ball and try to come up with the most logical names for the new Arena here in Pittsburgh.

  1. Mario Lemieux Arena - Okay, so this isnt going to be the name, but it should be. I really hate that buildings have to have corporate sponsors. So, why cant we just name it after the guy who got things done and fought to the very end to get it?
  2. PNC Bank Arena - So this bank already owns the naming rights to the baseball park and I would believe that they would have enough money laying around to buy the naming rights to the arena as sort of a double whammy. Most of the other Arenas are named after financial businesses, so this makes sense.
  3. Mellon Arena 2 - The bank that already owns the naming rights to the first Civic Arena will also be probably offered first crack at the naming rights of this new building.
  4. Christina Aguilera Arena - Yea, she would pull a publicity stunt like this. She is from around here and would probably insist that her name be spelled "X-Tina".

So, at least it won't be the Pink Taco Arena! Go ahead and list your own name ideas for the new hockey arena in Pittsburgh.

United flies out of Pittsburgh international... and for a time, we had Hooters Air giving flights to Myrtle Beach at really discounted rates.
