Over on the radio board, in someone's post:
Selling the naming rights to the Rose Garden for less than a million should of been routine but the Vulcans still haven't got it done.
Which got me to thinking... why not start a thread full of names you'd like to see (or would not like to see) on the side of the only major league pro team in the state?
BTW... this is meant to be light-hearted humor. They don't have to be companies/organizations with the dough to buy naming rights. If you're not into this, please use your browsers' back button.
MAYBE:
American Standard (or Bemis or Crane or Mansfield) Toilet Bowl
Sloan Sports and Event Valve
TriMet Trip Generator
NOT:
NW Natural Grill (oh, we still need that 40%+ rate increase, just in time for the cold season to set in)
Halliburton Hall
Blackwater Center
Chevron/Texaco (or BP or Exxon/Mobil) Gas Pump

Yep:
Les Schwab Bucket.
Burgerville Basket.
InFocus Petri Dish.
Nope:
Hemstreet Tag Bowl.
Blout Pout House.
Legend Homeless Place.

Yes:
Otto's Dog Pound
Shari's Pie Hole
George Moreland Tidy Bowl
Columbia Sportswear Fleeces
Nike Slave-labor Children's Training Camp
No:
Wieden & Kennedy House of We're Cooler Than You'll Ever Be.
Hey Skep, is that the famous Hemstreet "(lack of) Hunting Tag" Bowl?

Yes it is!

Tom Peterson's Buzz Cut Bowl
McCormick & Scmidct's World Largest SteakHouse and Seafood Grille
but in all seriousness I like the idea of a Weiden & Kennedy named arena.
No really the Rose Garden fits it perfectly

I agree that Tom Peterson's name should be featured prominently in this city somewhere, but most of his customers can't afford events at the Rose Garden. Perhaps a large trailer park or bingo hall somewhere in Lents or St. Johns would be more appropriate.

Great Idea!
Forget the mess of the Caesar Chavez street-naming debacle, we need to name some big-ass major road Tom Peterson Blvd!
Like 82nd Ave.
There would be no opposition! (Unless it's your street)
