| What is Ball Arena In Denver Named After |
From Pepsi to... Aluminum?
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
Yep, you read that right. Ball Arena wasn't always known for its, well, distinctly non-spherical namesake. Originally christened the Pepsi Center in 1999, the arena rocked that sugary soda sponsorship for over two decades. But in 2020, things got a bit...canned.
Enter Ball Corporation: The Aluminum Avengers
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
That's right, folks. The Ball Corporation, a titan in the aluminum beverage can industry (think Coors Light, not bouncy spheres), swooped in and snatched up the naming rights. This wasn't just a random act of brand awareness, though. Ball Corporation is a bigwig in sustainability, and the deal involved a commitment to reducing plastic waste at the arena with, you guessed it, more aluminum!
So, is Ball Arena named after a giant ball pit?
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.

Not quite, my friend. While we can all appreciate the mental image of thousands of fans cheering on their favorite teams while wading through a sea of colorful plastic balls, the name is a nod to Ball Corporation itself.
But wait, isn't that a little...uninspiring?
QuickTip: Absorb ideas one at a time.
Hey, at least it's honest! Besides, the arena still packs a punch with its sleek design and electrifying atmosphere. Who needs a fancy name when you've got the Avalanche scoring a hat trick or the Nuggets draining a game-winning three?
