Gaylord Entertainment Center

[Neil4Speed]

Well, this may be immaturity at its worst, but, does anyone find it a interesting choice of name for the Nashville Predetors Home Arena to be called the Gaylord Entertainment Center?

I realize that it is totally childish, and Gaylord is a proper ( :rolleyes: ) name, but, really, its a public sporting arena.

What were these people thinking!?

Yeah no kidding. Your right about it being a proper name and such, but honestly. Could they not have used the guys first name instead of "gaylord'?? They may have been hot boxing the board room as they named the place ahaha.:thumbsup:

The Population of those places are pretty small, probably combined the size of a small neighborhood in Calgary. But I get your point.

We are talking the major sporting arena of a city with a population 1,000,000+ (I believe)

[hyperwhite]

^ well would you wanna live in a town named gaylord??? :rofl:

[Xtrema]

Would love to hear some announcer try to keep a straight face saying the name.
