The new stadium naming thread

[Factamondo]

how bout the 'luv you long ti fi dollar' arena!

[Geng]

A better example might be Chelsea. Imagine if the Battersea Power Station project had gone ahead, including some sort of entertainment arena. Would you rather go to a gig at 'Chelsea FC Stadium' or the Samsung Arena?

[Geng]

Your also have to realise that having an overtly QPR-related name would have a negative impact on the venue's use for other things.

I know we'd all like to go to a gig in the Alan McDonald club at the Rangers Stadium, but fans of other teams/non-footy fans would be at best ambivalent and at worst hostile. Would you want to go to the O2 if it were called the Addicks arena and you constantly felt like you were putting money into Charlton's pockets?

How about No 15!!

Tony's Palace

How about... 'The House That Tony Built'

[Factamondo]

the inner west london quality crack n smack arena!!!

[SuperHoopNik]

Fernandes Stadium

[tetters]

The Westfield Arena.

Would not surprise me if they spread out to sponsoring a multi-purpose venue, add some shops on the side.

THE West London Arena...

HOw much would that **** off all the rest of the wannabe west londoners

[DeepcutHoop]

We don't wonna be associated with that era of South Africa

I was thinking more of the original stadium, the Olympics, and the Franco British exhibition to be honest.

The Great White City

Meanwhile, over in East London, West Ham are looking to rename the Boleyn Ground as a mark of respect towards their former Icelandic owners for what they did for their club.

The shortlist is down to three choices apparently.

UPTON WENT, UPTON LEFT & UPTON FLED

[LoftusRoadLad]

It would be a nice touch to call it the White City Stadium, a nod to the area's history.

It will be 'Sponsor's name' Stadium, financial reality necessitates this unfortunately.

Sure there will be plenty of sponsors willing to have their name, but there;s also the possibility of donig what Man City did with the Etihad stadium - a company owned by the same family who own the club. They paid £400m quid for the naming rights, an unprecedented sum, but it was also a way of diverting their own cash into the kitty and therefore the turnover to avoid the UEFA Fair Play rules.

So wouldn;t rule out the Arcelor Mittal stadium or the Air Asia Stadium by any means.

The CarGiant stadium ;)
