Anyone else getting the feeling that this petition was started by Reggie Dunlop?

Looking at the arena design it appears that Douglas Cardinal has started to design giant toilets.

In case anyone was interested to see what they were announcing:

I wonder if Ken King will still be trotting the 'I have something interesting to announce shortly' to all of us in 2016-17

If there was any doubt before that Rogers charges too much it ought to be alleviated now.

More than Rexall apparently. Once again Daddy Warbucks keeps his wallet locked up tight.

It would seem so, yes. Vancouver naming rights go to 2020, barring renegotiation.

I know they love their 80s nostalgia so much in Edmonton that it's constantly pregnant and forcing children trapped in 1985 onto the rest of the world, but why does Rogers insist naming things the most generic, forgettable things ever? They now have Rogers Centre, Rogers Arena, and Rogers Place, and if you aren't paying attention it'll be impossible to know which one is where. What you will know is that you feel no sense of attachment or affection to these structures, because of the monolithic, visibly unpleasant if not outright evil corporation that lends its name to all these places for gobs and gobs of money!
Now there's nothing wrong with corporate sponsorship. The Flames have had lots of it, from Canadian Airlines, to Pengrowth, and now here we sit with Scotiabank. But what do we still have? The ####ing Saddledome. Hey Rogers! Try this:
Rogers Skydome.
Rogers Coliseum.
Rogers Tire Fire.
But I understand. Attachment is bad. It leads to the dark side. For reasons.
