I hate changing a name but I suppose we can get used to it. Its an oil company in Tampa that employs 250 people and likely to grow so I'm all for it Go Amalie !

To me it will always be the forum

IDK about the rest of you, but I really couldn't care less what an arena is called anymore. They're all corporate sponsors anyway.

Just another way to cover costs. To me it will be " Ice Palace" or the Forum

I still refer to the CEC as the Igloo from time to time.

If it brings in more money I don't really care what they call the arena
