What to Call the Arena?

[Stormin Norman]

This was briefly touched on in another recent post on another topic based on my search...  What shall the arena now be called?

 

Key Bank Center?  No.

KBC?  No.

 

How about:

 

The Key Hole

 

The Key-ster

 

That may be as creative as I can get!  Any other ideas?

 

[sabills]

I'm just calling it "The Bank"; we're on our 4th one, after all.

[TrueBlueGED]

I've called it "the arena" since it opened and I don't foresee that changing to accommodate Key Bank.

Serious answer: KeyBank Arena

 

Fun answers:

GMTM's Thunderdome

The house that Jack built

The glory Key hole

Bank on it Center

So Banks Arena then, not bad or ...The Big Bank...

I've hear/read that lots of people always just call it "The Arena".  Maybe it is easier to call it that when you reside in Buffalo?  In close proximity to "The Arena"?

 

Maybe I'm alone, but I always called it "HSBC" or "First Niagara"*.  I'm sure soon enough I'll end up calling it "KeyBank"...?

 

I can't remember what I called it when it was Marine Midland.  I was kinda younger back then :unsure:

 

Something like "The Bank" could be fun.  I'm envisioning RJ with a goal call... something like: "Jack takin' it to the bank for Game 7..."

I was in Buffalo recently down near the Arena and everyone called it "the Arena". I think it is similar to people calling New Era Field, "the Ralph"

The Mmarena or Crossroads, but primarily the Mmarena.

Old guy here. I still call it Rich Stadium

[hsif]

"The Vault"

If you call it "KeyBank Arena" I'll just assume you don't know what you're talking about even if you're Liger and do indeed know what you're talking about.

 

I'll call it "home of the Stanley Cup" early next summer but until then "KeyBank Center" will do fine.

You'd and sodbuster both had this idea, I like it. I'll be calling it the same as well Edited September 23, 2016 by WildCard

When the Sabres play soft: "There's no checking at The Bank".

 

When they don't: "Matthews got deposited on his keyyyy-ster".

[Norcal]

The Key

Or The Fun House

They are renaming the Albright-Knox too.

 

Is this what old feels like? I'm starting to dislike change.

[Sabre Dance]

Because it looks like a fuel storage container AND because of the recent goings-on there over the past few seasons, I suggest we call it "The Tank".

 

No?  Too soon?  :devil:

They are?  What are they naming it?!

Really that sucks, I protest... someone call Trump and HRC and make it a campaign issue. Edited September 23, 2016 by North Buffalo

Albright-Knox-Gundlach Art Museum, or AKG Art Museum.

WNY native donated $42.5 million which deserves getting his name slapped on there.

[North Buffalo]

Meh....

Makes sense; at one point it was just the "Albright Museum", then Knox paid to add a new building to the campus so they added his name. Now they're adding another building via Gundlach's donation, so he gets his name on the side, too.

I call BS.  What does this person know about art?  Why should he/she have the right to start putting names on museums?  Can this person even paint?

Feel like I need an emoji or backward-slash stage direction  for guidance here.
