Makes sense to me to have his name up there, even though I find it a little silly
So if, say, One Direction or Justin Bieber does a couple week sold out stint at the ACC then the Bon Jovi banner would be replaced? I really hope that happens, that would be hilarious.

Keon has acted like a Dick for years.

He has pride. The Leafs and Ballard treated him like ####, he told them to get bent. I don't blame him.

Sure as long as Taking Care of Business is played every game. Harlequin could be another possibility. I guess Vancouver could have a banner for Chilliwack and Bryan Adams. Toronto could also add local band, Toronto, with Even the Score. Honeymoon Suite is another band.

Bon Jovi is a band, not a person.

The guy's name is Jon Bon Jovi... so Bon Jovi can also be known as a person.

Is it just me or does anyone else find this decision by the Leafs PR to be just way out there and moronic. So he has sold out the building several times. This would make sense if it was the NJ Devils, and even then it would still be silly.

Do you really think One Direction or Bieber will have the staying power to accomplish something like that? Hah.

It's obviously a big part of the arenas history so I don't really see what is so odd about it? I agree it's kind of weird but I think its justified?

It drives me nuts that there is a "home of nickleback" sign in Hanna but #### about about Lanny.

Just another reason to hate Hanna, IMO.

"Sold out the building several times" is understating it. It's been 600 000 tickets, and the most tickets sold at the ACC by a wide margin, and something other arenas have done. Disagree with the decision, sure, but this isn't happening because he sold out ACC several times.

I just don't get the reason for it. What does having a Banner of Bon Jovi up in the rafters provide?

Nickelback aren't "sellouts" since that would imply that they once made music with artistic integrity. For their entire recording career they've never made anything other than radio-friendly garbage composed specifically to appeal to lowest common denominator listeners.

They had a pretty grungy, straight edge rock sound back in the day, their music certainly became more mainstream over the years.
