Consol Energy Center has become PPG Paints Arena

Get ready for the PPG Paints Arena.

PPG has reached a deal to puts its name on the Uptown arena, replacing Consol Energy Inc.

The Penguins are expected to announce the new deal at a press conference this morning. Team officials declined comment.

The change will take effect immediately.

Consol is giving up the naming rights six years into a deal that was to run 21 years. Its name has been on the arena since it opened in 2010.

However, the company will remain as a team sponsor.

The PPG deal will be long term, although the number of years and the amount of money it is paying is not known.
