I would have preferred Maple Leaf Gardens Version Two Point One, Now With Scotiabank.

I'm actually happy with this name change. A name brand is a name brand as far as I'm concerned but I certainly prefer Arena over Centre, especially when there's another Centre down the street. I'd be happy if it's nickname became "The Arena".
By comparison, this is much better than the Amphitheatre switching over to Stage.
There's no such opportunity now for an easy-to-say abbreviated name.
I wonder if Scotiabank will slowly get out of the Cineplex-naming market now.
I agree, but they seem to be shifting their priorities away from arts and culture (which I suppose Cineplex is vaguely a part of) to sports.Why would it, as long as they continue to have the Cineplex deal for Scene loyalty cards?

The problem with arena is that people in hockey circles more traditionally use that for the local hockey rink. "I went and saw a game at the Arena" usually means you went and watched the local C level team at the local rink, not went to Toronto and watched a game at the Scotiabank Arena.
Just a thought - they will have to install new logos on the roof.
