The clunkiness is the double name - Bell & MTS. That might change one day. Bell Place is easier to roll off the tongue. But I know everyone assumes MTS will disappear but its a lot of money they are spending to change everything from MTS to BellMTS so I think it sticks for awhile. Hard to blame the corporation. The money they spend is to advertise their brand. Although, MTS is a local brand and Bell is a national brand. So even if BellMTS sticks, they might one day drop MTS from the rink as it generates national advertising. But I do think Bell is trying to be cognizant of local brand loyalty to MTS.
June 1, 20178 yr comment_265991 Whatever. They pay for naming rights so they can name it whatever they want. Don't think anyone here has the right to complain about a name... unless of course you are the ceo of bell mts paying millions. But you aren't cuz nobody at bell mts is complaining.
