Related Topics: Consol Energy Center

There are a lot of rumors swirling around that the Consol Energy Center won't retain that name for much longer. The company bought 21 years of naming rights back in 2008 for the building, but due to their industry apparently don't want the expense of the rights any longer. We'll see.

The rumor, headed by Rob Rossi (yeah, yeah, I know) is that the name of the arena will be changed to something like the PPG Center. Pens at the "Paint can"? Eh, might take some time to get used to but we'll see if any of this comes to fruition, it's just buzz on the street for now, but seems to make reasonable sense with Consol slashing costs of late.
