Finally, a worse name for an arena than Power Balance Pavilion.

I'd take Sleep Train over Smoothie King ANY DAY....

Well, that makes one of us.

Hey, we've got that neat train whistle when somebody hits a three.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

We may not have the same working definition of "neat."

Hey, we've got that neat train whistle when somebody hits a three.

I wish they would add the sound of a RR crossing gate when the Kings block a shot.

Maybe sounds of train derailments for the end of the games?

Kidding aside, I am just glad that our culture is moving away from banks/financial institutions naming arenas. Hopefully we can now get away from Center, Arena, Pavilion, etc. for the arena title. Smoothie King Center doesn't flow together .... it's gotta be smooth....

to be honest, i dig it. i love smoothies. who doesn't? they bring people happiness. it's better than being named after an airline or a bank or a mattress store...

I am curious as to how many references will be made to the name change during All-Star Weekend...
