    Smoothie King has reportedly won the naming rights to the New Orleans Arena on Girod Street. I think Smoothie King is slightly worse than Sleep Train Arena (Sacto) but not quite as bad as the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville. New Orleans has some issues when it comes to naming things.

    Duh, because Moda isn't as cool as Smoothie King.

    Forgot to mention the Bojangles' Coliseum in Charlotte. Sounds stranger than it is I suppose.

    That's badass for NOLA, considering all the fucking drive through Daquiri shops they have.

    You can just call the arena "The Big Smoothie."

    i'd much rather encourage my fans to drink smoothies while enjoying the game than sleep through them

    I think Sleep Train is better than ARCO. ARCO sounds dystopian.
