Only a handful with the bank roll to make it rain and buy an arena name.

My bet is Southwest.

I loved America West Arena, hated U.S Airways Center and will possibly hate the new name. I'm all for DragonSlayer Arena even though it doesn't quite make sense. Well, what does make sense with this up and down Phoenix Suns that we all love and hate these days. ARGGHJKTJGGJGTKJGEKJEKJRKJFFRKJMNEDKMNFEDKJMEDFKJEDKJEDSKJKJEDSKJEDKJEDSFKJDCKJ

As much as "talking stick resort" is shown in commercials nonstop throughout the game it's only fitting that would be our new name.

I don't mind the arena name, just shorten it. No need for the "resort" in it.

I am a huge fan of change but Suns have disappointed me in every change they've done the last 2-3 years. Jerseys, New court, logo, getting rid of purple, arena change, announcers.. Sure a lot of small stuff but damn get something right for a change.

Pretty bad name, I don't think they should be allowed to have a location descriptor like "resort" in an arena name even if it is part of the corporate name - is it a resort? An arena? Will GPS take people to the resort? WHO KNOWS?!?
