He brings up points that have nothing to do with Oregon health insurance, but whatever.

I guess I'm supposed to feel bad about Paul Allen lessening his annual loss on the the Blazers? He's one of the most extreme stories of capitalism's success in US history, and some Blazer fans are up in arms over some naming rights being sold. Typical PDX hypocrisy.

I dont really care one way or another what the name of the arena is. I only care about the product on the floor. Arena nostalgia is not on my radar.
 
Are Portland and OKC the only arenas with regional sponsors?

Way to prove Portland is indeed small time
 
Somebody post all the names! Off the top if my head the weird ones I can think of

The Bradley Center
Chesapeake whatever
Energy Solutions
SleepTrain
Quicken Loans
Don't know if these are regional or not.

Again, the name change doesn't bother me. The name they chose sucks water buffalo testicles.

Was looking to get preseason tix for the game next month when I'm in POR and saw that on Stubhub, they're officially referring to the venue as "Moda Center at the Rose Garden."

Must have missed this in earlier news.

Interesting. Moda Center at the Rose Garden sounds nice and would be a nice tip o' the hat to our recent history. "Moda Center at the Rose Quarter" makes sense. Because, it's in the Rose Quarter. Maybe they meant that?
 
Someone needs to develop a new rose and name it the Moda. Then we could have the best of both worlds...
 
Maybe it's like the court that's named Moda Center, and the arena itself is still the RG. Kinda like the WaMu Theater at the MSG.

Try seatgeek. They are showing two other sites with much better deals than StubHub. Season ticket holders get their tickets next week too.

I think the stadium should be the MC RG with all entities around being at the Rose Quarter. Mc at the RG is confusing.

Unfortunately, the dates won't work out. I'm in POR from the 10th to 15th and no games will be played in that period. Thanks, though.
 
So we've gone from The Rose Garden, one of the best and most appropriate names for a sports arena in the NBA, to the Moda Center, which sounds like an ugly, generic, corporate conglomerate and has no apparent link to Oregon or the Pacific Northwest?? This has got to be one of the ugliest names for a sports arena in history. How depressing.

What a great post and quality bump. I should rep you for this.
 
I'll miss the Rose Garden, but I'm sure we'll get used to the MC.

I said this before. I am surprised more people aren't simply referring to it as the MC. Kind of paying homage to the Memorial Coliseum.
 
Been around people, and that's what I've heard it called. But you will definitely hear "Moda Center" on out broadcasts and advertising.

I understand that. I mean the fans. No reason not to call it the MC

It's still the Rose Garden, and likely will always be called that by 90% of all Oregonians. MODA may have payed Seattle-ite Paul Allen to rename it, but all MODA has done for Oregonians is consistently gouge them on health insurance rates. I see no reason to join their advertising team.
 
If they do the stupid "And the MODA CENTER is..." expecting the crowd to yell, I'll be yelling "The ROSE GARDEN!"
