Heard they might name it HST place;)

@JeffMarek Rogers takes over naming rights for GM Place in Vancouver.

Confirmed. Rogers Place.

rogers place isn't that bad of a name.. just that we're all used to calling it GM Place.

A lot better than Telus Place for sure lol

^^ or the "Telus World of Hockey"

... I'm still sore about Science World.

So no more Garage!

I would have preferred Telus but Rogers doesn't sound too bad.

Gross Rogers Arena just doesn't flow right.

Rogers Arena sounds gay

I'm not a big fan of corporations feeling they have to have their name on a sporting venue. The buildings of my childhood seemed to have personalities, quirks, etc. Corporate named venues seem to switch names and corporate sponsors so often they can't induce any sence of history or tradition.

thats what i hated about kamloops....

I loved Riverside Collosium....


then it changed to sportmart place...and interior savings place...i dont even know what it is named now

No more Garage.

Phone Booth?

I agree, but Aquillini owns the building, so he can do whatever he wants with it.

I don't go to games much these days, but it looks like Rogers will have a presence in all areas of stadium - on-screen, on-ice, and through wireless. Maybe Rogers subscribers will have some enhanced data features on their phones during events?

Should have called it something like Rogers Coliseum.

Bring back the Coliseum. It sounds scary.. it's where Canucks kill other teams.

Not as gay as the the old name of Nashville's arena:

^ i laugh so hard !!

SMASHVILLEEEE

yeah I will always call it Riverside Coliseum. It's where I played minor hockey and where the Blazer's won Memorial Cups and there hasn't been too much success there since they went corporate.
