    Hearing the word MODA over and over makes me tired and sleepy. Think I'll take a nap.

    What happened to those lying f'ers that said "Oh no, no no, it's not going to be the MODA center, I don't know where you got that info, but it's wrong." queue one month later!

    Normally I would say that there can be no argument when it comes to matter of taste, but not this time.

    Hardly.
    Sleep Train?
    Arco Arena?
    Pepsi Center?
    Quicken Loans Arena?
    Staples Center?
    Time Warner Cable Arena?
    Toyota Center?
    Verizon Center?
    Wells Fargo Center?

    Pretty much ANYTHING with a recognizable corporate name is worse than an unrecognizable corporate name.

    I wish Kotex would have bought the naming rights and called it The Pad.

    Come on! The Kotex Rose Garden is great on it's own.

    Interesting to note that only the Rose Garden is getting renamed, but the Rose Quarter is here to stay.

    I think I like the phase "Go See Yoda" in reference to going to a Blazer home game.

    Since they are paying the blazers $4.2 Mil/year, maybe we should just call it the MLE center!

    I got to agree with you. I would much rather have unrecognizable name then any you listed. Sure Nike or Adidas would have been better as it is sports related. But the STAPLES.......

    Now if MODA turns out to be an embarrassing corporation then I may change my tune. But it is already growing on me and it has only been 33 minutes.

    "I will meet you mother fuckers at the MODA" ......I think it has a nice ring to it.
