Start getting used to the home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche not being the Pepsi Center.
It’s now Ball Arena, after Ball Corporation — known for making cans and Mason jars — and of course there were so many jokes made on Twitter about the name of the home of a basketball team being named after the thing they play the game with.
But there are also calls for a nickname — apparently, some people may have been calling the previous incarnation “The Can”? Now, because of what Ball Corporation produces, fans out in Denver want to call it … The Jar!
Seriously:
The Can becomes The Jar https://t.co/cR5kGibCm9

If we start calling Ball Arena, "The Jar," it's all worth it. https://t.co/QBlP7F3tMq

So, it's going to be 'The Jar' now?

Other people pointed out what we said above about basketball at Ball Arena:
Nuggets, announcing a new partnership with Ball Corporation, say Pepsi Center will now be known as Ball Arena. That's a pretty perfect name for a basketball gym if you ask me.

The Denver Nuggets arena is being changed from Pepsi Center to “Ball arena”
Imagine if it had that name when Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony played there🔥 pic.twitter.com/mkanglqZJf

it’s funny because Ball Arena is the most generic name you could have for a sports arena https://t.co/FjX0XJZyfJ
