The new name is The Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The naming rights contract was for 12 years @3 million dollars a year with a 3% increase each year. That's a pretty good chunk of money for the Thunder to use on the arena or whatever else. It's much better than the 409,000 dollars a year Ford was paying to have it called the Ford Center.
All the signage should be up by the beginning of this year
