This thread is for members of the UPL to select their Arena.

You can post your team name and nickname later.

Please choose carefully, as you will keep the name for the duration of your franchise.

Example:  if you chose the Staples Center, you can call yourself Los Angeles, California, or a LA suburb.  

The nickname needs to go with your area (no Utah Jazz) or anything strange (Seattle Microbrews) or (Atlanta Bloods)

There can be up to two teams per arena.

Omni/Atlanta - bkeyser
Madison Square Garden/New York - sappy
Boston Garden/Boston - jayharvill
Boston Garden/Boston - steelers821
Charlotte Coliseum/Charlotte - malone9975
Spectrum/Philadelphia - eleibowitz

Freedom Hall/Louisville, Kentucky - ashamael
United Center/Chicago - schwarze
Chicago Stadium/Chicagodeathproof
Cincinnati Gardens/Cincinnati - xxevilivexx
Palace at Auburn Hills/Detroit - zizzo24
Indianapolis - Calcutta

FexEx Forum/Memphis - shawbigred
Alamodome/San Antonio - empdenied
Target Center/Minneapolis - mikee1
Pepsi Center/Denver - bluenote75
New Orleans - ncih
Oklahoma City/smelott

Rose Garden/Portland - slymonium
Key Arena/Seattle - jcred5
Key Arena/Seattle - poddy
US West/Phoenix - jweb1510
Great Western Forum/Los Angeles - shooter83211
Staples Center - dspahlinger

Alamodome (team based in Austin)

Rose Garden in Portland

what's up with these restrictions?

I don't even understand this line:  "The nickname needs to go with your area (no Utah Jazz) or anything strange (Seattle Microbrews) or (Atlanta Bloods)"

Pending the fact that I don't have to use Colonels as my mascot, I'll take the Louisville Coliseum (Ashland Mustangs).

Charlotte Coliseum

I think he meant that if you choose Staples Center, you can't be the New York Garbage-Eaters or the Florida Foreclosures. You have to be something like the Los Angeles Scumbags or the Watts Riots.

The Spectrum or First Union/Wachovia/Wells Fargo center in Philly

ugh I'm a company man...Target Center.

Correct.

I would prefer not to have nicknames like the Scumbags, preferring something more traditional.

That is why my team is named Asheville Not Allowed.

When I lived in Atlanta I first started playing UPL and because of some political things that happened I named my team the Atlanta Race Baiters.  This was frowned upon, rightly so, but I was indignant at the time and changed it to Atlanta Not Allowed.  When I moved to Asheville I changed it to Asheville Not Allowed because it I was winning with that team.

So "Ashland Mustangs" should be cool.

You are fine.

5280 Basketball Club will be playing out of the Pepsi Center (wish they had McNichols as an option). 

I'll claim Chicago - United Center.

Team Nickname to be determined.
