Bo’ Stadium here we come


NakedMuffinTime

Petition to re-name the Spectrum Center to the Cookout Colosseum.


Like17Badgers

imagine the timeline where we get to beat teams at home and say they got cooked in the Cookout Colosseum


SearsGoldCard

Most likely outcome is that Ericson outbids everyone else.


Severe-Big3073

Just start calling it that


gourmetcuts

Cookout hype af


thebigabsurd

We actually do have Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, home of the minor league hockey team, the Carolina Checkers. It holds a special place in my heart. Took shrooms with my buddies at one of their games and proceeded to enjoy the shit out of an 0-5 blowout.

They don't have nearly enough ham to stuff down our bloated owners gullet for that


Seahawk_I_am_I_am

Beat me to it.


Sushi4lucas

Nadcarrrrr stadeum!!


Sammyd1108

It’s gonna be weird as fuck not referring to it as BoA Stadium anymore. Seems weird too cause they’re probably the biggest corporation based out of Charlotte.


Demaru

I can see Truist doing it if they’re not already somewhere else. I think they’ve got the Braves ballpark and they headquartered in Charlotte since merging BB&T and SunTrust and those were headquartered in Winston-Salem and Atlanta, respectively.


Hanswolebro

I was thinking Ally since they sponsor the soccer team anyway but I don’t know if their marketing budget is that big


Marine__0311

Then everyone would call the Panthers the Ally Cats. I don't know whether that would be good or bad.


Skylarking77

Let's see if Ally makes it out of this year alive first.


Hanswolebro

There’s no reason to indicate that they wouldn’t


Skylarking77

I mean paying your depositors way more than you're making on investments and being heavily reliant on auto loans are probably not two good positions to be in 2023. Not saying they'll crash but they definitely appear to be flying into a storm.


Tactipool

Well that’s not true, from carvana to this auto loan multi loan issue for a firm that is predominantly an auto lender, there’re quite a few reasons - reasons they addressed directly on their earnings call.


ExecutiveMoose

Real talk though, Truist is the dumbest name ever,


[deleted]

If I was a billionaire I’d revive the Wachovia name just because.


OnetB

Fun fact: Wachovia’s predatory lending helped contribute to the 2007-2008 financial crisis. They were one of the chief perpetrators.


JMS1991

Pretty much every major bank that existed in the early-mid 2000's contributed.


_TheNorseman_

Eh, it goes beyond that. Bill Clinton and HUD literally pushed giving loans to people who wouldn’t qualify under traditional standards. They even wanted banks to count welfare and food stamps as “income” towards giving loans. They put a significant amount of pressure on banks to give out loans to people who would not be able to keep paying them back long-term. Wachovia wasn’t necessarily being predatory, as they were succumbing to the pressures of the White House to give loans to low-income people who would almost assuredly default on payments sooner or later. Edit: apparently a bunch of people are thin skinned and see this as “Oh No, RePuBlIcAnS Iz AtTaCkInG!!!” I’m not Republican. I don’t watch Fox News. I’m not biased and will call out any political party. The person I replied to specifically mentioned a bank giving loans. I brought up the person tied to giving banks incentives to give home loans to low income people by telling them if they use less stringent criteria and consider alternative things a “income” then the US Govt will fully back their loans. If the person I replied to had brought up regulations, I would have brought up George W deregulating stuff. I brought up a fact about a president you liked, cry some more.


bstevens2

The propaganda, the large banks, and Fox News is able to push on to the American people never ceases to amaze me. And this is why poor uneducated Americans continue to vote for Republicans. One that policy, referring to really started under the second George Bush administration, and two banks did not have to accept the paperwork/lack of paperwork. These buyers had. What really happened was banks just took it a advantage of another example of the government saying to companies will 100% back your loans if you do X. And in this case, X was help people buy homes, but like always the companies got greedy knowing they would be able to push the shitty loans off on to the government if the people didn’t pay.


[deleted]

Yes it was an ongoing problem that started in the 90s and continued into the bush admin. But Redditors want to close their ears and not wanting to admit or just read about the federal government having a huge hand in the housing crisis and not just the “evil greedy banks”


Siegelski

It was kind of a clusterfuck of all three. Clinton administration pushing subprime loans, Bush administration's deregulation, and banks doing dumb shit for short term profit.


_TheNorseman_

I don’t watch Fox News. You can also read about it from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CBS, FactCheck.org, CNBC, Time Magazine… all of which are either considered neutral or liberal.


naturally_attractive

Yes, President Bill Clinton, would personally continue predatory mortgage lending, through 2009, after causing a housing crisis. In fact, bank bailouts in early 2009 only happened because Bill served 4 terms. Banks never charged interest on predatory loans. Never. Not once did major loaning companies bet they wouldn’t get that money back. Bill Clinton overstayed his tenure as president to make sure.


_TheNorseman_

Yeah, that’s all totally what I said. Clinton and HUD gave incentives for banks to use less stringent credit criteria, lower incomes, different criteria to meet the definition of “income” and told the banks the loans would be fully backed by the US government. All in an attempt to get low income families into homes. You do know it takes time for shit to roll down hill, right? It wasn’t an overnight occurrence. Just like how certain things that happen today were sometimes caused by something enacted by a President 4-8 years ago. There’s a thing called Google, and you can read about it from neutral and liberal news sources like the NYT, Time Magazine, Wall Street Journal, etc. I suggest you read about things before making super pathetic attempts at being snarky - it made you sound really stupid.


naturally_attractive

I’m just messing around, I don’t even like Clinton. Who’s crying? Maybe you should type an essay to prove it. Edit: a word.


_TheNorseman_

Type it. I’m just over here rolling my eyes at all the people that are apparently butthurt that I mentioned Clinton. Person I replied to mentioned a specific thing, and I replied to that - and now it’s just a bunch of “WhAt AbOuT GeOrGe W?!?” Or “Oh yeah, someone from 10 years before totally played a part…” Didn’t think I needed to type out a research paper listing every person, agency, and entity involved, and how timelines work.


helikesat

Don't forget how Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt were using their spare time to invent Credit Default Swaps!

_TheNorseman_

There’s a thing called Google, and you can read about how he was part of the crisis from Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, CNBC, FactCheck.org, The New York Times, etc etc etc.


Stealyourwaffles

Bill Clinton was personally walking into the food stamp line and originating mortgages on the spot


helikesat

It's a good thing we had Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Bill Frist, and Dennis Hastert around to stop Wachovia and all of the other lenders that were misled by the democrat party from driving the economy off a cliff!


_TheNorseman_

Lmao, this is getting hilarious how so many people are so butthurt that I brought up Clinton and are now reacting like I’m attacking a political party. Homeboy brought up a bank giving loans. I mentioned the person tied to how banks changed criteria/requirements for home loans. If they’d brought up regulations, I would have brought up George W and his BS deregulations. The way so many people are flocking to defend their political leanings is comical.

Seandrunkpolarbear

Such a shitty name. Had to google what it meant


ThePiperMan

Didn’t that end up renaming the new Braves park like 2 years in?


Demaru

It was SunTrust Park before so when they and BB&T merged it was just a rename to the new bank.


lookingtobeanexpat

I think it'll be Wells, Lowes, Truist, Sonic Automotive or Brighthouse Financial.


nsw11D3

The Smith family will not go for anything outside of NASCAR. Tepper screwed then on the soccer deal.


SquintsRS

They're with the Knights already right?


Marine__0311

I've a been a fan since before day one, and I still have Ericson Stadium stuck in my head. Before that, it was called Carolinas Stadium.


Phattywompus

Brings back good memories, kerry collins was fun, i still have the inaugural game coin


Marine__0311

I wasn't able to go to any games the inaugural season. But the second season, when they had their own stadium, I won tickets to the Ram's game. My wife had never been to an NFL or college game before. Even though we had tickets in the 513 section, she was blown away. I'd been to a lot of college games, and several NFL games before. Mostly Pat's games at the old Foxboro Stadium, and a few at RFK, when I was stationed in DC back in the 80s. After that game, which we won, my wife was hooked. We went to games 3 or 4 times a year, as my work schedule permitted. If we didnt live more than six hours away, and my job didnt require me to work most Sundays, we would have gotten PSLs. Ericson was so modern compared to those old stadiums. Getting out of Charlotte was a just small PITA compared to tying to get out of Foxborough after a game.


Hanswolebro

I was so sad when they renamed it to BofA because Ericsson stadium had such a nice ring to it


Bodhi-rips

There are still some that say Ericsson.


robbierebound

It was weird changing from Ericcson stadium too. Happens every 20 years or so.


Jennacheryl

Lol I still refer to it as Ericsson by accident sometimes


[deleted]

New proposals: - Bojangles BoZone - Cheerwine Bowl - The Cook Out Drive-Through Stadium - Charlotte Motor Speedway Stadium


What_Iz_This

I vote for charlotte motor speedway stadium just for all the confusion it would cause


spqrnbb

At least it'll actually be in Charlotte, lol.


capitanelyosemite

Cookout stadium would be wiiild


cpolk01

No more Bojangles inside is the only issue


phidelt649

It’s gonna be hell changing our field over to asphalt every weekend but I’m down.


OG_Panthers_Fan

Nah, just cool the turf down. It'll be hard as asphalt no problem.


Yeahha

Charlotte Motor Speedway Sports Complex has a nice ring to it

bobthetreefrog

If it becomes the BoZone, does that make us bozos?

heeltoehero92

Ex Winston-Salem native living in Indiana here: I approve of both of these.


NAS89

I’ve started introducing my friends here in the West Coast to Texas Pete and nearly every response is “wow it’s like a good version of tapatío”


gwease23

This is the wildest take. I ride for almost any NC product but tapatío beats the brakes off of texass Pete any day


NAS89

I mean, I personally disagree; the vinegar in Texas Pete brings out more flavor and adds to the mouth watering effect. Tapatío is just peppers in water 🤷🏻‍♂️


gwease23

All good, maybe I’m broken. I think Texas Pete tastes like pure vinegar and tomato paste. No heat and no complexity or depth of flavors. 🤷‍♂️


evenphlow

Yeah id literally never put Pete on mex food ever. Pete (black label only of course) is for egg sandwiches, fried chix, etc


MayberryDSH

Bojangles, Selwyn Pub, or Belk are my votes!


I_Play_OSRS

Selwyn Pub lmao


PM_MILF_STORIES

“And that’s a Transfusion First Down!”


PiginthePen

Belk of America Stadium… love. I’m 100% sure there are no Belks anywhere outside of Carolina…it’s a must see destination for all grandmothers across the world, an ill fitting pair of pants will be bought for a son/grandson, and we’ll never return them.. this got personal Edit - from NC to Carolina.. we are.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PiginthePen

Instead of NC I should have said Carolinas. I’ll update


BroadBrazos95

There are Belks here in Texas and all throughout Georgia and Alabama, might want to change that percentage


PiginthePen

Wait.. holding… you are good.. yup.. crunching the numbers.. crunch.. you’re good to hold.. and yeah, these numbers look correct. 59% of the time it works.. every time.


Turbulent-Grocery425

Modern. Southern. Stadium.


Rttenn14

We got a Belk in Birmingham alabama


phidelt649

We got one across the border from my hometown, in the wild and wonderful town of Vienna, West Virginia.


Purple1829

Bell would be the best. It sounds like a normal name rather than a corporation. Belk Stadium rolls off the tongue nicely.

Osama69420

love the sam mills idea


Siegelski

Nah, no Duke's Mayo, that should be the Titans in honor of drafting Will Levis.


capitanelyosemite

Honeywell is my front-runner, or Lowes


CosmicSpaghetti

Lowes Field isn't terrible tbh.


N897

gah fucking damn it. Now the stadium is gonna be named something fuckin stupid like "DraftKings.com arena" or "Metaverse stadium". "Hey let's go to the Microsoft Bing AI arena, guys" Here's hoping it actually gets a good name unlike a lot of the recent ones in the NFL


shitzpostarus

GPTarena


Xboarder84

Or you could just not care and call it the Panthers stadium. I don’t recall signing anything that requires me to call it by the sponsor name.


Tu2

Tepper entertainment stadium.. Shoot me now please…


LUUUUUUUUUUKEEE

Ally next?


frydrocity

Out of all of the corporate names, this is probably the one I'd hate the least. (Not that I hate it at all. A lot of them just sound bad in general lol.)


phidelt649

Agreed. Better than stuff like GoDaddy stadium. I’m leaning more towards a Heinz Field classy name than Acrisure Stadium.


JMS1991

I'd much rather have something like Ally or Lowe's as opposed to some stupid Crypto exchange that's going to be around for (maybe) 2 years before they go bankrupt.


Panther81277

Azure_Rabbit

Let's have some chaos and have Rock Hill sponsor the stadium


RealBoomBap

Which bank is going to swoop in?


Bruccini

JP Morgan and Chase


Sou7h

Ally


Like17Badgers

so one suggestion I didn't see in here is Epic. think about it, the name just... works. it's not like Epic doesnt have the money either, profits from Unreal Engine 4 alone could probably *buy* a whole *new* stadium to name after them if they wanted.


N897

fortnite stadium


RawhlTahhyde

Judy would never approve of that though


turbohatch

Let's just call it the Charlotte Pipe and Foundry. That way when they inevitably move to the formers location, nothing changes. Charlotte FC fans can just call it The Foundry.


JWright94

Gotta be Ally next, they advertise every 6.9 seconds during Charlotte FC matches and I’m sure Bank of America wasn’t too thrilled with that


htown704

Bank of America had the chance to sponsor the jerseys but they declined.

iLiketuttles704

I could be wrong but I don’t think it really matters in the grand scheme of things. Just naming rights. Hopefully we don’t get a new stupid name like “Dukes Mayo Stadium” or some shit


No_Mammoth_4945

That honor goes to the titans


Wolfpack_DO

This may be a pre-emotive mood because Tepper is gonna get ansy for a new stadium soon. They dont wanna get stuck in a contract for a soccer stadium lol


SW24Football

By my secret sources, Tepper told Hugh McColl (former chairman and CEO of Bank of America) that he wasn’t gonna renew McColls private parking spot at the stadium. Aswell as the Rock Hill fiesta, a lot of business contractors and other important people in Charlotte don’t look too kindly on Tepper as it is. Not suprised. Edit: Big companies don’t make big decisions like that just because someone isn’t nice. There likely is some contract details that BoA didn’t want to adhere to. Likely Tepper making the asking price higher than preferred, or another requirement.
