HuskerFever Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Total clickbait, but now that you're here they just announced that the CLink will now be renamed as the "CHI Health Center Omaha." I guess for $23.6M you can call it whatever you want. https://www.omaha.com/livewellnebraska/health/so-long-centurylink-center-omaha-arena-to-be-renamed-in/article_6dd7ef51-d7c1-5e39-a284-cf3ca50f7deb.html I don't know about you, but I'd rather go to the bank instead of the hospital. It's time to lock things down on home court next season and beat these ailing Bluejays. Red Don and Silverbacked1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmykc Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Having observed CHI's management style locally, I would suggest that the money would be better spent in upgrading the health care of patients and not in the promotion of their product. dustystehl, Huskerpapa, aphilso1 and 6 others 1 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uneblinstu Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Best one I've heard is "The Clinic". I think calling it The Palindrome would be good, too. dustystehl and Brick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphilso1 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Given the upward trajectory of health care costs, it definitely sends a wrong message when hospitals decide to spend $20M+ to plaster their name on the side of a building. Kinda burns my biscuits even though I know that amount is basically a rounding error in their annual budget.

Dead Dog Alley Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Well, I am planning on winning several hundred million in a lottery drawing, buying the Chico or whatever the hell its called, and then canceling Creighton's contract and letting UNO play there instead.

Either that, or you buy out the naming rights and call it the "Shim Shams Arena" and write it in the contract that they get first rights to all halftime entertainment, including all concerts and events. aphilso1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cipsucks Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I don't care what name is on the arena, how much money did the arena get for the sponsorship? I'll guarantee you the Dinsdales didn't pony up 1 million plus per year to put their name on the arena in Lincoln. Good for MECA and the city of Omaha. Making money...
