Whomever wants to pay enough money for it.
Illitch owns the tigers but it's Comerica Park.
How about 5/3 Arena? Or General Motors Arena? Or maybe Compuware Arena? |

I agree with bringing back "Olympia" if a new arena ever does get built.
It's all about the money nowadays, but I would really hope that it wouldn't end up with some cold, corporate name slapped on it.
@Quinn
There's already a Compuware Arena out in Plymouth where the Whalers play. I couldn't see Illitch wanting Karmanos having anything to do with his new building at all anyway. haha |

I would like to see the New Hockey Area keep its old name. JOE LOUIS ARENA. But Illitch would change it to " LITTLE CAESAR'S ARENA." |

No, KING DANNY, that will never happen. Here's why: KING ILITCH (one L, not two) won't get tens of millions of dollars in naming rights if he names it after his own company. Look at Comerica Park. |

As much as I liked and enjoyed watching Stevie Yzerman play for the Winged Wheelers...
I'd honor Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay and Sid Abel, three of the greatest Red Wings of all time...
The Production Line Arena...

I personally would like it to not use "arena".
Something like "______ Icehouse" or "________ Rink" or the "_______ Center"
To me a little more chic and classy. 
You know it'll be bid out though. If Comerica was (and oh god what a great Detroit company....), you bet your sweet little behind they'll do the same with a new ice rink. Maybe we'll get lucky and the name will actually be a Detroit based company that honestly gives a hoot about this city. |

I guess I'll add that I could seriously see General Motors going for something like this.
They already have the GM Center in Vancouver though.....and the Cadillac Palace theater in Chicago....
But I could see them being interested.
Aren't there two American Airlines arenas in the NBA? I wanna say Miami and Dallas....so maybe two GM arenas in the NHL wouldn't be out of the question. |

I personally hate the commercialization of sports arenas. Seems like every damn one is named after a company. Name it after a great player that at least has something to do with the sport being played there! These companies think if they put their name on the place I'm gonna patronize them? I could give two shits! I'm going to see a game not to be told where I should do my banking, buy a car, buy office supplies, airline to fly, etc blah blah blah. |

I sitll find it sort of crazy that Comerica threw their name on OUR stadium, then snuck out the back door (silent but deadly) with their move. |

I dont think it would happen, because the name is already owned by Ilitch and cannot make money off it, but I like Hockeytown Arena. |
