Verizon can only sponsor the Arena if they bring back the Verizon-branded Samsung-Phone Jumbotron with the giant bezels.

All I says wow! It's change! I haven't seen it for over a decade now.

I think this move makes sense as long as they aren't building the permanent MLS stadium here, which I don't think is the case. They'll want that in an urban environment in either Phoenix or Tempe. I think this decision is just moving the temporary stadium with some slight improvements at a reasonable cost while the ownership group bides its time for MLS.

I think they wanted to stay where they were for a couple more years, but couldn't work things out with the Salt River Reservation, which is a bummer.

I read that this is a permanent facility. Permanent locker rooms, room to expand, etc.

I drive by the current Phoenix Rising stadium whenever I visit my parents and am always amazed by how little shading/covering there is.

Yeah. Some features will be permanent, but won't be very expensive. I could see this Wild Horse Pass site being a training complex for the future MLS team. While the new MLS stadium is built at a more central location.

I don't know where to post this but now I'm hearing banner will have naming rights to the arena. Previously told it was rocket loans.

^ I moved the above post from the General thread. This one falls down the list sometimes as it's not super popular.

Banner Health Arena? I guess I don’t hate it. My preferred still would’ve been PayPal.

combusean · #**392** Posted **Jan 7, 2021, 4:04 AM**

Banner Health Center? That rolls off OK.

I could see "the Ban" being a thing.

With that announcement it makes some sense.

I definately would go with Arena vs. Center.

Banner Health Center could be any particular Banner hospital or campus. I think it's important this uses Arena.

I also did notice last night a ton of Banner advertising on the court. Idk if it's new but I didn't notice it until last night. They are digitally imposed now, so it rotates but I saw Banner alot.

I noticed that as well, made me wonder if my source is gaslighting me. Remember, never trust anyone trying to sell you something.

The Rocket Loans Banner Health Medical Centers Arena Stadium. It's got a nice ring to it...

Very interesting! I don’t like soccer either. I only I like baseball. I am very good D-Backs fans for over nearly two decades now. I know former Diamondbacks player Randy Johnson. He is famous baseball player. He got 4,650 strikeouts.
