    Too bad this isn't 2029 so we could talk about naming it TFG stadium.

    It's a rough climate for business. Hopefully it's better shortly.

    According to the article, they made defective medical devices that had to be recalled because too many patients were having to have their hip/joint replacements redone.

    I didn’t like the name anyway. I would rather the Exactech was dropped and it was just simply called the O’ Dome or O'Connell Center again.

    Not familiar with how naming rights payments are structured for Exactech, but usually they are in yearly installments for other arenas. If Exactech can’t pay they lose naming rights.

    That's still how most people refer to it. The only people who call it "Exactech" are people who get paid to be present for the games.

    Or bring back Skeeters and name the O'Dome Skeeter's Big Biscuit Arena. I understand they are or have put money in to updating the O'Dome roof. Design it to liken a Big Biscuit. Too easy.

    Hopefully Feds continuing to lower rates will help.

    Exactly, look at it as a good excuse to name it the O'Dome again. I'm sure some random private equity group wouldn't mind that.

    Everyone still calls it the O'Dome. Not sure it will really matter who gets the naming rights, the O'Dome will be the colloquial name until a new arena is built.

    In a couple more years, we'll be calling it the Condon Condome.

    C'mon, everyone should know who it should be named for:

    Great Southern Music Hall!

    Too Hot.

    Electing a businessman with several bankruptcies is the solution?
