What's in a name?
Friday, June 16, 2006
Blue Jackets Bistro officially changes its name to Bud Light Arena Pub.
Of course this is just nitpicking on my part, but I guess it's a shame that they would have to change the name of the Bistro to something more corporate. It seems as though this is a combination of hockey teams (and the league in general) needing to show off their corporate sponsors moreso than they used to so that they stick around, and get an extra buck or two to put in to the war chest, so to speak. Maybe the extra cash in the bank is what is letting them give Shelley an additional $2-3K a year compared to the old contract (I'm kidding! Really!).
Then again, I'm a teetotaler. Maybe that's why I don't dig the beer sponsor's name replacing the Bistro name.
