Wells Fargo Arena changing name to Casey’s Center

[CycloneRulzzz]

Think this will be one of those name changes that doesn’t stick with the public. It’ll be Wells Fargo to me. Like Miller Park for the brewers. It’ll never ever be American family field

Yeah I will never refer to it by this new name.

Hopefully they install a few broken gas pumps just to keep it authentic.

Those will replace the stagecoach at the top of the stairs

Hey it could be worse. In Omaha the arena is called the "CHI Health Center". Which is great if it were a hospital.

Nice enough arena. Enjoyed our games in the NCAA tournament there...but that is a terrible name for a (mainly) sports arena.

So, breakfast pizza on early tip NCAA games?

How about every game at any time?

Will they have a newspaper stand on the inside of one of each doors?

Maybe I am in the minority, but to me this arena is a poor facility for basketball. It feels dark and the seats are not close to the court (especially on the ends) that it is hard to build excitement during the games.

I would much rather go to a basketball game in the old Barn than this facility (whatever they call it).

Casey's Center sounds like the name of a Day Care in a town with no stoplights.

and the place to hang sale bills for upcoming machinery and land auctions?

Every single Casey's has a different card reader style at the counter hopefully that gets replicated also.

And what is happening with Wells Fargo that they cannot keep the naming rights?

That's actually going to be a 98 silver Honda Civic with a maroon hood.

LOL Well's is laying people off left and right.

It's a terrible basketball arena.

Agree

I've always said for basketball: "there isn't a good seat in the entire place"

They had a 20 year naming agreement that expires June 30, 2025.
Assuming they either got outbid by Casey's or just simply decided not to renew

Of course you would, but they wouldn't be able to get events like the NCAA tournament at a venue with that capacity.

I've been away from Iowa since before this was built, so maybe I just never got acclimated, but I'm surprised about all the consternation over the change. At least Casey's is local and unique. There are dozens of Wells Fargo Arenas/Centers throughout the US.

At least it's not Mediacom

All this means is the restrooms will look and smell like a landfill and the beer/pop dispensers won't ever work.
