I like it when the fans give the place their own name, which is usually far better than the official name. Some well known nicknames of hockey barns:

The Shark Tank
The Dome
The Igloo
The Joe
The Ice Palace
The Pond
The Aud

If you are good at that sort of thing you might want to try this Sporcle quiz:

Can you name the famous Big 4 stadium nicknames?

Wow. How funny that 10/6 reduces to 5/3!

Do you know where the term "mad hatter" came from?

we have a law firm here in michigan called the sam bernstein law offices. their commercials are 1-800 call sam. so anyways, they bought the naming rights to the FSN Detroit studios, and so every show is from the "call sam studios"

1-800 call sam commercials are awesome. heres the family photo they show at the end of commercials.

i hate laughing at a blind guy, but hes an injury claim lawyer. so fuck him.

How about the University of Louisville basketball arena? It is called the KFC Yum! Center.

I never liked HSBC, though I've grown used to the name. At least First Niagara is local. They also have a pavilion South of Pittsburgh named after the bank.
