{Smoothie King} - Lauscha hints that arena naming rights to be done by All-Star game

In pre-game and then rebroadcast at halftime on the radio broadcast, Sean Kelly interviewed Pels president Dennis Lauscha who strongly hinted that a naming rights partner would be announced before the All-Star game.

This is exciting. I am hoping it is Zatarain's...something interesting. What are people speculating?

I don't know but I just told my husband I'm hoping it's not Louisiana Seafood Zatarain's Fried Shrimp Arena.

It will probably be the Cox Cable Arena. bleh.

Why not just Cox Arena? O wait....

I still want my arena to be "seasoned" by Zatarans. :hihi:

I'm calling it first, it'll be called the Capital One Arena.

I told my brother they were talking about naming rights last night. He said what are they going to call it, the Pelicans Nest? I said no, a corporate name like Capital One Arena or Capital One Center. It kind of makes sense.

Well, we now know that it will be SOON seeing as they said to be done by ASG.

Capital One, Entergy, and Chevron have been big sponsors in the past.

How much money would the team make from naming rights like that? I know that Capital One has a suite for the Pelicans games, sat up there before it was pretty nice.

Who knows what it will be. Who thought Mercedes would be the one for the dome?

Recent reports have a naming rights deal to be signed for the arena in the next few weeks. Any guesses to which company might pony up some serious $$$$s to have the arena named after them??

The usual companies come to mind:
Capital One, Whitney, or another bank
Entergy
Chevron
Perhaps a car company
Airline (Maybe Southwest)
Cox
Century Link might be a dark horse, they are based in Monroe and are currently have the naming rights for the Seahawks in the NFL
Something off the wall like Twitter or LinkedIN

Please refrain from ridiculous guesses such as Boudreaux's Butt Paste or PawPaws Camper City.

Raising Cane's Center!

I'm thinking Capital One Arena as well.

It starts with a C and is not a bank...

I saw someone post that it was not a local or regional company (on another site I think).
