Sorry, I forgot about the Spectrum, now the Wachovia Spectrum, home of the Phantoms. And the Sixers also play at the F U center.

The MCI Center is actually now the Verizon Center. Before the name change, the MCI Center was being called the "Phone Booth".

and is right next to the Coyote's Jobing.com Arena
take your pick for boob arena names.
Isn't the place where the Arizona Diamondbacks play called Bank One Ballpark or something like that? Everyone out there called it The BOB, something that I heard that Diamondbacks management really hated

Energy Solutions is a company that deals with nuclear waste.....nice
We call it the "Nuke Dome" now..............
Or "Radium Stadium" or the "Glow Box". It will glow purple and green when the Jazz win and melt down when they lose!

everybody loved BOB. we still call it BOB even though Chase bought bank One and renamed it Chase Field. I think management hates that it's still called BOB and not Chase Field....
