O.CO COLISEUM, YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK: There cannot be a worse name for a home stadium/ballpark/arena in American professional sports than Sacramento's newly rechristened Sleep Train Arena, is there?
Do you guys have Sleep Train ("You're Ticket to a Better Night's Sleep") out there? It's a pretty strong brand out here. Not surprised they went for this.
It's just NorCal, I think. When we moved up here, I started shouting, at the commercials, "ALLLL ABOOOOOOOOOARD FOR RELAXATION!" It's like "Shotgun Blast Mattress" or "Car Alarm Mattress" for relaxation-themed failure.
The Warriors used to play at the Cow Palace and the Astros had an embarrassing season at Enron Field. And a bunch of embarrassing seasons elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI keep wanting to read that as "Sleep Train Apnea."

ReplyDeleteWe do not. It is CA-only.
ReplyDeleteOne hopes at least one of the promotion nights will be "Dress in Your PJs" and get a free whatever.
ReplyDeleteArgh! *Your *Your *Your
ReplyDeleteMy brain mostly has a problem with it because of similar sounds in Train and Arena. I kind of want to meld the words. Sleep Tra-rena.
ReplyDeleteSo they're going to be the Sacramento Mattress Kings now?
ReplyDeleteWell, Power Balance Pavilion wasn't much better. Mattresses are better than the healing powers of a magnet in a piece of plastic.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least the fact that the exit/turn off is "Arena Blvd" will once again make sense!
They've all sucked. What's the difference?
ReplyDeleteJobing.com arena. It's pronounced "jobbing." And it's spelled "jobing." And it's called "jobbing" in a professional sports arena.
