No word on arena nameing at this point. Something was supposed to come out last week, but I hard Parker on the news saying that they are still in talks and something should be announced soon.

I read, in the phoenix paper I believe, that the name would change but not to US Airways Arena.

Yea I agree with that, it may not necessarily be the US Airways arena. If they choose not to name it that, it will probably be because how much money they may want for changing that name. Arena names are huge business. When the America West Arena got it's name, it was a lot of money for little old AWA to spend, but itturned out to be money well spent. When renewal came up several years ago, it took a lot of bargaining to keep it Am West Arena....we'll see what happens this time.

Kenny G ??? Isn't he on KMEL?
:blink:

They could aways name it the "Purple Palace". The news media called it that for a long time until they got their hand slapped.

I think N907AW - the HP 757 that used to be painted in the Suns colors, anyways, was nicknamed "Barney" -- ah, hem, after the purple dinosaur.

What AWA was paying a year to keep the naming rights through the rest of the contract (2019 or somewhere out there in the future) was relatively cheap -- like $800K a year or something like that. Maybe the naming rights are being sold as a "lump sum" to somebody and it won't even be named for an airline at all... Now, that would be sad, especially since the Suns are doing so well (well, let's hope they do this year too) and that's cheap advertising and national exposure.

:down: :angry: :wacko:

It may be US Airways Center or something like that. The guy quoted in the article didn't say US Airways wouldn't be in the name somewhere.
