This could backfire if the media decides to abbreviate the name to ‘The Crypt’.

Somehow some protest will spark in LA tomorrow morning over this. Traffic will be fun  :-X

I'm glad we're the TD Garden and it sounds so much better. The Clippers are in luck, they'll be out of Crypto Arena in 2024 and be in the Intuit Dome hahaha

But...why Crypto  :o

These days the question seems to be "but why not crypto?"
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

Doubt it. I'd legally change my name to crypto.com arena for $700 million too!

Waste of money.  Has some serious Sears Tower/Willis Tower vibes to it.

Consider that it's largely unregulated FinTech, so while the average consumer perception may be fairly low, the insane amounts of money that exists in that sector ensures that there's definitely the capital to throw into stunts like this.

This has to be the worst sports stadium name ever. I do hate the Fakers, so I'm glad it's their stadium.
