Over the last few years, some porn sites have officially submitted bids for venue naming rights, knowing they would be rejected (even though they were sometimes the highest bidder), but still getting some publicity and media coverage just for making the bids. If accepted, these bids would have resulted in venue names such as "BangBros Center" and "Stripchat Superdome".

Frankly, those names would probably have been preferable to some of the awkward and verbose ones that have actually come about recently! :-)

It's confusing to some as well because "Talking Stick Resort" is a discrete casino/hotel building, but "Talking Stick Resort Arena" is 20 miles away downtown. The Resort building has its own concert/event venue on site, too, "The Showroom at Talking Stick Resort." Additionally, the Diamondbacks spring training facility, across the freeway from the casino, is called "Salt River Fields at Talking Stick."

The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is clearly not at a loss for words. :-)

Starting this upcoming season, the Pistons will be playing in Little Caesars Arena and the Verizon Center has been renamed Capital One Arena. And BMO Harris (or just BMO) should be accepted for the Bradley Center, since its full name is BMO Harris Bradley Center.

*technically* madison square garden is now a corporate name with the creation of the MSG entertainment/sports groups, but that's mainly a pedantic technicality since the Garden lent its name to the company, not the other way around... completely agree by the way!
