New name for "The Dome"

Just saw this on wikipedia about the Adelaide 36ers and the Distinctive Homes Dome:

"The 'Dome was recently purchased by Eddy Groves (ABC Learning CEO and Brisbane Bullets team owner). The naming rights sponsorship has now finished and is unlikely to be named Distinctive Homes Dome again."

The following question begs: What would you, the fans, like the building formerly known as "Distinctive Homes Dome" to be called?

as usual wikipedia.
I think you will find this to be quite old information.

That has been on there since eddie bought the place. The places has been painted blue all over and theres new dome signs on the floors which to me suggests a new name is not expected for some time.

"The ABC Learning, we need a new stadium, it's all too hard, Powerhouse".
Or for the unconverted:
"The ABC Learning, we need a new stadium, it's all too hard, Crowhouse".
Thoughts?

What about ABCD, as in ABC Dome.
This way kids can be attracted to it at a very early age and know how to spell it even before they've ever seen a basketball, also it's easy to spell, and it lets me use a big word like abcederic when anyone asks what sort of name is that?

This building for me and alot of people from my era will always be "The Powerhouse" no matter what management choose to call it.

Powerhouse. Plain and simple. Who cares if it's a regression. Heading back to the form of the late 90's could in no way be a bad thing.

Respek to my main man, DD Fan, for suggesting the Dome be named after me but my vote's for ABC Learning Centre.

Imagine the lines that the reporters could use, if it was called the ABC Learning Centre:

* "36ers teach Bullets a lesson at the ABC Learning Centre"
* "36ers school the Kings on defence"
* "36ers need to go back to the books after a poor shooting night"

Powerhouse was good for Clipsal and basketball.
A.B.C... learning centre, (adelaide basketball centre)
there's a bit you can do with it for the ownner and for basketball at 36 crittenden rd findon, etc.

Don't think it would be too much trouble to change the name of crittenden rd. to basketball road, by deed poll, and it is about no.36 on that road also.

If we're renaming the road - do what they've done in Detroit. After each title, they rename the road of the stadium to "x championships drive" .. hence Crittendon Rd will become "8 championships drive (as we can include the chicks with return of Lightning to the Dome) !

That road would be 'x Graveyard Road' with the x changing for all the teams that have failed in the NBL.

According to the Woodville Basketball Club web site, the Dome is currently on 'Distinctive Homes Drive', which would mean that the rest of Crittenden Road would not need to change its name if they wanted to give it a new address of '8 Championships Drive', or whatever else.


DISTINCTIVE HOMES DOME
"Distinctive Homes Drive",
44A Crittenden Road,
FINDON SA 5023

Like most, "The Powerhouse" is my first thought when speaking of our home venue. Times change & Distinctive Homes deserve credit for stepping up. Having said that, I don't know anyone that thinks "The Dome" works.
Treading lightly, how about the "36ers Home of Distinction"?

Mate, that could have more relevance than you think.
