Sorry folks, waiting for it to show up in the main page and it did not! :D

Surprised that Drew did not put Fark.com in there.

After several less than appropriate name choices from Drew...

Heh.

After several less than appropriate name choices from Drew...

What was wrong with UFIA Sex Center?!

So, are the Boston Farkers having some kind of party tonight, or what? There will only be a foot of snow starting around 5 p.m. ...a mere dusting.

Meet the Farkers

Yes, we'll be stopping in for a beer or 20 a little later.

from fleetcenter.com:

Delaware North Companies, owner and operator of Boston's FleetCenter, announced today that they have reached agreement with Drew Curtis on a naming rights deal to re-name the world-class sports and entertainment arena the 'Boston Garden'. After several less than appropriate name choices from Drew, the approved name selection was one we could all agree on. Drew, who lives in Kentucky, is the founder of a popular website which offers up offbeat news stories and posts to its community. The deal will both go into effect and expire on Monday, February 28, 2005.

Nothing to see here, folks, move along now.

/old news

//will wait and see if they mention Fark.com in the 'in-depth' ESPNNews coverage

///got nothing, awaiting snow

Less than appropriate, eh? Sweet.

I wanted to go into the city SO bad, but when I leave the storm is to really pick up. :(

I'm still upset that " Fark United Center for Knowledge" didn't get many votes.

Abe Vigoda Memorial Center.

What the heck happened? Boston Garden?

Hell, why not just name it "A Building?"

Lame.

Ah- Am I the only one that noticed this and went "hunnnh?"

As a 'liter with a very low user number, I take offense at this statement, and demand a retraction! :)

Drew, deep down inside you wanted to name it "Jeter Rules all" Stadium... I know.

Name it The Boston Garden if you want.....that doesnt change the fact that Duke sucks.

I'm kind of dissapointed at the lack of a Boston fark party for this. Drew - we need guidance!! We could be tearing up Causeway street tonight~~!

It's kind of like calling New Jersey the Garden State.

Only TotalFarkers? But, but....I'm important, too.

Was it worth it?

i'm shedding a tear of joy.

in related news, don't whine, liters

HAHA! I are teh winnar!
Boston Garden submission = mine

Maybe im lame, but i dont get it. whats so funny about boston garden?

BarkingPumpkin: I'm still upset that " Fark United Center for Knowledge" didn't get many votes

That would have been the best. And I bet you if you played it smart noone would have picked up on the acronym until it was already set in stone. Oh well...

I'm with you, BillTheCat. It's just not right.

We built this website.
We built this website on squirell nuts.

It makes me laugh that half of fark-lite doesn't know what "boston garden" is and is whining and crying about the name.

Not sexy enough:P

Thanks Drew. That was very kind of you. Boston Garden was an Icon. To have it back for one day is a nice touch.

Some people may like the name, some may loathe it, but one thing is clear; you were very generous to us Bostonians, and for that, we should ALL be grateful! I know that I am!

Hey! Just pay the lousy five bucks and you can become relevant TOO!

It's beautiful seeing that name up there !!

So let's see one of our loyal Boston companies buy the naming rights for real, and name it the Boston Garden again, for real.

And, I call informal Fark party at the Burren.

From what I have gathered, this was the third choice. Our vote was for the UFIA center, but Boston city officials, have no sence of humor.

The Boston Garden was the old arena in Boston before the corporate sponsored Fleet Center was built.

Should've called it The Bukkake Gardens

Liters get no respect

/also suprised Fark.com was not in the name

This is awesome. Get it out there into the media! They'll love it!

Hell, I'm surprised he didn't put Drew in there.

Jeter Is Vulgar Center?

/not a baseball fan

Thank you, Drew! Very nice to see the ol' Garden again :o)

I'd like to know what all of the titles Drew submitted were

Yeah, more or less, "The trash dumps were full, New Jersey was full!" - Futurama

I'm disappointed Drew caved. Perhaps he shouldn't have told them what UFIA meant.

Perhaps he shouldn't have told them what UFIA meant.

yes, because nobody at the fleet center has ever heard of doing a google search.

UFIA center was a great dream, but only a dream.

Totally pointless story:

One of my buddies has been a Celtics fan for years, even though we grew up in the Midwest. One time, in the 80's, he was drunk with a bunch of friends, he decided to call the Boston Garden as a prank.

The phone rings, and he hears, "Gahd'n!".

My buddy is so thrown by the strong Boston accent, he says, "Excuse me?".

"Bahst'n. Gahd'n. Waddya want?"

"Er, um.. Is Red there?"

"Real funny, wiseguy. I don't need this sh*t." *click*

My buddy loves to tell that story.

/told you it was pointless

/just RTFA

Oh, and well done.

ctenidae Sing it Homer's voice...

I like the renaming Back To "Boston Garden". Sure to open old wounds AND salt'em 'mongst the locals. Most of "them" woul'na appreciate Duke Sucks or UFIA.

Maybe Drew can sell "UFIA Center" to GoldenPalace.COM?? Just Sayin'....

/also suprised Fark.com was not in the name

If I recall correctly from a previous thread, they wouldn't allow it 'cause we have links to teh boobies.

Boston Garden? yawwwwwwn

Should have told 'em that UFIA was- United Fleet centers In America.

I believe we can call and hear the "new" name, mais non?
