I had 12 and surprised to get so many... I could only think of the old names for a lot of places (ARCO arena, the forum, the boston garden, chicago stadium, american west arena - the suns, i think; MCI center hosted a team, right? [the washington DC franchise i think], the spectrum, the one place that's on the tip of my tongue for the spurs, some sort of dome with a lot of seating and a white interior roof).

Milwaukee's arena is also not a corporate name, technically. It was a gift from the family to the city of Milwaukee in honor of a relative who just-so-happened to be a part of Allen-Bradley Co., but there is no corporate naming right.

I never realized before how many corporate sponsorships there are. Lame. Only a handful of teams (Det, NY, Por, NO) aren't shilling for some conglomerate.
