Would have been awesome if the naming rights could have been purchased by the House of Shock. That would have been a bad arse name.

Maybe the arena will be called "The Blender".

While I hate the name with a passion, I do enjoy the straw up top.

House of Shock would be tight. Quite formidable imo. Too bad we're the harmless, friendly Pelicans

What will be the arena markup on a Smoothie King smoothie? Those things are already $100 and the rights to your first born for a medium strawberry banana.



One guy told me $7 for a 20oz. That is not much more than normal price + tax. Maybe $1 - $2. It was not clear which flavor, etc. he was talking about.

Is Smoothie King gonna pay to get rid of the bathroom tile design?

There is no plan to change the skin of the building, nor has there been one.

This is great news. The fact that SK originated in Kenner makes it even better. Everyone wins here.

Although ESPN reports that the logo will be on top of the building and the entrance will feature two twenty foot SK cups.

People who don't like the name must have never heard of the Sleep Train arena.

Yes. Some stuff will be installed just for the ASG, then some better signs will be up.

I was just responding to the comment above about them changing the tile design. Some tiles will be necessarily covered, but the building style will remain the same, even after the scheduled exterior renovations.

I'm pretty happy with the deal.
