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

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.
