I disagree. Corral opens up the same issue as Saddledome; Fans will say "It's at the Corral/Dome". Despite the jokes here, nobody is actually going to say "It's at the Place".

It will become Scotia Place in conversation, much like you hear and see everyone use Rogers Place in Edmonton. It's the arena/place/center that sponsors require to keep fans from omitting the sponsor, corral doesn't achieve that for them.
