Ball Arena corporate-renaming jokes

The multi-use arena at 1000 Chopper Circle opened as Pepsi Center in 1999 and was renamed Ball Arena in 2020 after a corporate sponsorship change. Denver residents regularly joke about sports venues being renamed by corporate sponsors, frequently using older names in conversation and humor as a running local gag. The venue hosts NBA, NHL, concerts, and other major events and its name changes are a recurring topic in local media and fan commentary.
