Yes! (bleep) the Clippers! |
You know intuit Dome sounds better than crypto.com arena…..
Was hoping some famous brand came through. Something like the Tesla center, etc, but i guess the don’t need more brand recognition. chase center sounded pretty good. |

But... THE CRYPT it is |

Crypto Arena is fine. Crypto.com Arena is two extra syllables. Too lengthy. I'm guessing if cryptos tank and crypto.com goes out of business, we'd have a new name? _________________ LeGoat! LeMazing! LeGend! |

Not much of a decision when someone offers you $700M for it |

They have no integrity, if they did it just for the money and not what they believe in. |

Going from one of the cooler names for an arena to one of the worst...
Some worse ones I can think of lol:
Ball arena (Denver)
Footprint arena (Phoenix)
Smoothie King center (NO) |

The Lakers don't own Staples Center, so I don't think we had much to say about it |

I doubt crypto.com would have paid $700 million for that. No one would associate "Crypto Arena" with crypto.com specifically.
This is an advertisement designed for people to see and hear crypto.com it gets embedded in our brains. From a marketing standpoint, it's not a bad move. |

You think they called it "Staples Center" not just for the money, but because the really believed in toner cartridges? |

They are also doing a massive renovation as part of the deal. |
