Colorado Avalanche rename arena

The Colorado Avalanche have officially changed the name of their home arena from the Pepsi Center to the Ball Arena.

The Avalanche share an arena with the Denver Nuggets of the NBA and the Colorado Mammoth of the NLL. All three franchises will continue to share the arena. This arena is the same arena as the Pepsi Center, just with a different name.

The Pepsi Center has been the name of the Denver-based arena since 1999 and will run under the new name starting in the 2020-21 season.

Along with a new name change, the arena will also change cups in attempt to assist in helping with the environment. The new cups will be made of aluminum and will be reusable.

There were originally no rumours about this name change and shocked fans all over social media.

“It is with great pride that we introduce Ball Arena as the new home of the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and Colorado Mammoth,” said KSE Founder and Chairman E. Stanley Kroenke. “Our goal in selecting a long-term international venues partner was to find a Colorado-based company with global renown to grow side-by-side with our talented young teams. Ball Corporation is an ideal fit for that vision, an innovative leader that shares our commitment to our local community, to environmental sustainability and creating quality jobs in Colorado. We look forward to unveiling Ball Arena and welcoming our fans back home when it is time once again to celebrate live sports and entertainment events responsibly. We ask everyone to continue to stay safe and look after each other so that we can soon enjoy countless amazing memories at Ball Arena.”

New name.
New future.
