Great Woods, aka Tweeter Center, aka Comcast Center, is now xfinity Center.

Which means absolutely nothing, everyone will still call it Great Woods.

I suspect there are many surly CT BMW salesmen Yankee fans.
But "hammock hump buddy"? There can only be one who fits that description...

No, Gary, I made something of my life.
Ex USCG who spends his days doing independent contracting work concerning safety and legal issues for government nautical facilities and ferry services and, as of late, bumming around Ireland.
I am also not a Yankees fan. So my soul, although not pure, is still in tact.

Great Woods must have originally been named by a bunch of guys.

If any of these companies had any sense, they'd just add their name before the words "Great Woods". They should take a lesson from TD Bank. Anybody who is worth their salt knows it's still Great Woods.

I never would've guessed.
And in case anyone from the "Anti-Garry crowd", N.E. branch starts with the "Good for you, Jon-nice zing"-it should be noted, Jon and I go way back, I consider him a friend, and we do like to go back and forth with each other with the Yankees-Red Sox thing. So PLEASE, go ride your collective horses somewhere else.
God bless your pure, intact soul, Jon.
Maybe someday Jason Varitwk WILL make the hall of fame.

I will personally keep Buffettnews alive for the next 20 + years just so when Jason Varitek finally gets enough sympathy votes to earn a spot in Cooperstown so I can say this:
And then it will all have been worth it. We can discuss this further at some parking lot somewhere in 2014 - hopefully Tampa again - if not Great Woods. Tampa agrees with me nicely.

Garry, sweet pea....
Please make sure you do not confuse "Jon-nice" with a member of the board with a similar name.

And what, pray tell, prompted this remark, Pretty Lady? I have many fond memories of our various entanglements over the years.
