While we're adjusting to the new name of the Jazz arena, others are already coming up with nicknames.
If other cities are any indicator, it's just a matter of time before the "EnergySolutions Arena" is called something else.
Most of the nicknames we're hearing center on the nature of the company's business--hazardous waste.
Take a look at the arena and see what you think about some of the names floating on our comment boards. The Glow Dome, Ground Zero, or The Trash Bin.
Clint Larson/ SLC: "I haven't heard many good ideas yet. Maybe The Waste Center, or... I don't know."
Mark O'Connor/ SLC: "Should've stuck Miller's name up there. Larry H. Miller Center."
Mike Shivers/ SLC: "I wouldn't even think of a good nickname for that. I think they should just change it back to the Delta Center."
Anna Sperry/ SLC: "I would call it the Essa."
All but five of the NBA's 30 teams play in arenas with corporate names. But fans in many cities have come up with nicknames for their venues that have stuck.
Boston's Gillette Stadium is nicknamed "The Razor."
In Arizona, Bank One Ballpark is known as "The Bob."
Minute Maid park in Houston is called "The Juice Box."
And in the Mellon Arena, where the Pittsburgh penguins play, it's known as "The Igloo."
What nickname can Utah fans think up?
