One syllable if it requires “the,” two if it doesn’t. Would have to roll off the tongue easier than “Scotia Place” which rolls off the tongue pretty well as it is.
Exactly, say all of these out loud and it sounds like dialogue from Middle Earth.

"Are you going to the game?"
"Yes, heading to the Hearth right now"

"Taylor Swift is coming to the Cauldron"

It's gonna be Scotia or Scotia Place.

The only time they'll ever work is for the Monster Truck shows, but even then only in a "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday" voice.
