It's not the everyday, local use that they are after. The advertising benefit comes from TV and media, when games are referred to - nationally - as 'Scotia Place'. They would get the exact same utility from 'Scotia Corral'.

Locals are never going to use the name Scotia, regardless.

Keeping with the corporate theme, the practice rink would be geared towards the bank's younger demographic.

I give you "The Scotia Getting There Savings Program for Youth" Rink.

They might as well open up a branch in the Place.

They should name the practice rink after Ken King.

So is there even any plans for a sod turning event today? Seems kinda weird not to have at least a placeholder time and place to do so, so that reporters etc. can get prepped up for the photo ops and presser.

Asphalt turning you mean? I think that area is under quarantine after the Stampede Cowboys tent and needs remediation.

I was lucky enough to see the renderings last week. Can confirm it says Scotia Place for the name. I personally really like the design but I could see others may not as much. Looking forward to everyone seeing it since it's been killing me to talk about it but can't for obvious reasons!

Maybe it would have been better to go with the old west end instead. Would it be cheaper to remediate creosote or STDs out of the ground?
