Delta Center --> Energy Solutions Arena --> Vivint Smart Home Arena

Make it stop!!! It's getting worse!

It looks better than it sounds, though.

I'll add this video to my TODO list.

Both Delta Center and ESA were fine names to me.

Have to think about the new corporate sponsor name.

I hear some would have preferred Vivint Center or Vivint Arena - the Smart Home part is burdensome on the tongue, especially when their own adds and marketing don't put it in there because it's too long.

I agree.

I feel the same about the Kraft "Fight Hunger" Bowl. I'm not sure how a CFB game really helps fight hunger.

Or the Kelloggs Frosted Flakes Reduced Sugar Little League World Series. I understand Frosted Flakes Reduced Sugar is a specific variety of Frosted Flakes.

But how about the name just be Kelloggs Frosted Flakes LLWS, but they air commercials for the Reduced Sugar variety?

Vivint Center/Arena/Pavilion/Stadium is fine.

@ 2:22: Malone had a daughter from November 1991, Kadee, so I think Karl is holding Kadee.

I don't think it could be his 1993 daughter Kylee.

Ok, good video with the flashbacks.

But I thought they were going to explain the name change.

You know, come up with some story other than the boring "it was a business decision".

Vivint is a local company.

So that's cool.

MHSL82, did you know the naming rights lease for Energy Solutions Arena was up?

If so, I wish you would have said something.

I always have predictions threads on what corporate sponsor will be the new name, when we know there will be a name change. Or a new arena, which will have a corporate sponsor.

A new name for Jazz's home: Vivint Smart Home Arena

"They're no longer just a security company, so that was important for them to have the 'Smart Home' element," Starks said. "It's one more word, but two less syllables than EnergySolutions Arena. So in terms of flow, we don't think it will take too long for fans to be able to recite it quickly."

Do you have any Vivint products in your home?

I didn't know they were going to change the name and I didn't know about Vivint. I might have products from them somewhere, but I've never seen the logo before in my house.

Thanks.

Remind me in 10 years, so we can see if the naming rights deal will continue for the optional 5 years, or if we will have a switch.

If Vivint contributes to the in-arena fan experience, then I will warm up to it even more.

It sounds like they will do something for the in-arena experience. As long as it's not cheesy, but actually beneficial, then that will be good.

Favors and Gobert should get sponsorship deals with Vivent, for every shot they block.

Maybe Hood with steals.

I enjoyed the our arena video. It really brought back good memories and you know I admire old stone Sloan
