In no particular order ...
Top 5
Rose Garden for obvious reasons. No corporate name. Perfect play on words. Simple.
MSG is just an icon.
United Center? For some reason, this corporate-named arena doesn't bother me. Rolls off the tongue.
Oracle Arena. Probably the coolest sounding corporate name you could have. Especially when you can just call the arena "The Oracle."
Conseco Fieldhouse. Like the reference to fieldhouse - perfect for Indiana.
Bottom 5
Yeah, I know. That's six.
Staples Center. OK - so you're in the entertainment mecca of the world in one of the wealthiest cities in the world. And the best corporate sponsor you can come up with is a second-rate discount office products retailer? Might as well go with Dollar Tree Arena or Wal-Mart Center.
Izod Center. Yikes. Not only does this roll off the tongue like a fat guy on roller skates going backwards on a diving board, it also screams sweater-around-the-neck, wood-frame-tennis-racquet douchebag. And it's in the armpit of the country.
Quicken Loans Arena. Lame. Although it does come equipped with a decent nickname of "The Q."
TD Banknorth Garden. This is like taking a vintage 1968 Shelby Mustang, painting it pink, and slapping some High School Musical stickers on it. "The Boston Garden" was immortal. Way to fuck it up, Boston. Yeah - I know it's a different building.
EnergySolutions Arena. When I think of jazz, I think of Salt Lake City, the home of great jazz musicians Jebediah Young and Elijah Christensen. Hence, Utah Jazz. Also - the NBA was missing a nuclear waste disposal company as an arena sponsor. Yeah - much better than the Salt Palace or the Delta Center.
Amway Arena. Hi everyone. Our NBA arena is named after the world's biggest pyramid scheme.
