2nd worst name here ever no matter what it means. #1 is still Waste Management Phoenix open.
Both names are garbage so to speak.

Meh... I don't mind it at all... And the mission and values behind the name make it that much more tolerable!

I still call it America west and Bank One Ballpark
I am starting a petition to rename Chase Field.....Hand Field. That way both of the venues can go Hand and Foot.

yikes.
University of Phoenix Stadium deserves an honorable mention at the least. After more than a decade of complaining about playing in a college stadium the Cardinals sell the naming rights to a college? That was such a classic Cardinals move. Not to mention they turned down Pink Taco Stadium to go that route.

Pink Taco was never an option - that was just a marketing ploy for them to get recognition for their restaurant

Didactic
I didn't think they'd sell the naming rights before this season would wrap up. I was going to start a petition in the offseason for Purple Mattresses to sponsor the arena so it could officially become the Purple Palace but now we get a Footprint.

I’ve enjoyed it being called Phoenix Suns Arena lately because I usually just say [Team]’s arena or stadium. Or in the Suns’ case we can channel Al McCoy and call it the Purple Palace.
I support the cause but this doesn’t sound any better than any corporate sponsor name, and worse than some.

If this company does what it says it does I will be proud to call the Suns arena the Footprint Center.

@Absolute Zero
I know you support pro-environmental behavior. Do you feel good about the Suns renaming their arena the Footprint Center and what the company represents?

Best stadium/arena rights name of all time? The pioneer, the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, back in the Lakers' prime days. Great Western Bank bought the rights for $1m/year, creating the "Great Western Forum". That name just works for everybody involved. Pretty sure they were the first to sell naming rights, then it caught fire.
