The Avenger Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Now that Fleet Bank has been absorbed by Bank of America the Fleet Center (home of the Boston Bruins and Celtics) is looking for a new permanent name. They decided to sell the name on a daily basis - some kid had it named after him by Make a Wish, etc. They autioned a name on EBay and a NYC lawyer won it. His proposed name: Derek Jeter Arena. I'm a Red Sox fan and I hate the Yanks, but you gotta give kudos to to that dude - that's some great thinking. Derek Jeter Arena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike32282 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 They shouldn't be able to back out of it and if they do, it shows the bias of the local courts. I love this. I guess they deserve it. What do you expect when you put the naming rights up for auction on ebay? Great idea! That would be !@#$ing hilarious to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
