Jay-Z Bids for Nets Naming Rights

The Nets are abandoning New Jersey for Brooklyn in two years but are losing Continental Airlines as the naming rights holder of the Meadowlands Arena this season. A request for bids has been released and rapper/businessman, and minority Nets owner, Jay-Z has emerged as the leading contender for his fashion line Rocawear. He would hold it for the two years until the Nets leave for Brooklyn. Rocarena anyone?

While it does sound a bit lamer than Continental Airlines...does it really matter...

They're both dumb...shit, If I were Jay-Z i'd just name it after myself...

"Jay-Z's House" anyone?

Rocarena doesn't really sound to bad. I do like the name Jay-Z's house though.

I like Rocarena and Jay-Z's House. But It will probably end up Rocawear Arena.

I endorse 'Hova's House' or 'Hov's House' as the name! However I also submit the name "Place of the JiggaMan"

What is the difference between "Rocawear Arena" and "Heinz Field"? If the companies have the money, and the teams are game, why not? Would it be "news worthy" if Ralph Lauren made a bid on the name?
