The new downtown arena will be called the KFC Yum Center.

 

Just don't get the Yum Yum sauce

Announced today that the new arena will be named KFC Yum! Center, and the first opponent will be the Butler Bulldogs.

 

Pretty excited to get Butler on the schedule (may not be after the game is over).

 

Seems pretty obvious, the nickname of the new arena will be "the bucket".

Ugh...that is a horrible name. Will be awesome to have Butler open it though.

The title to thread is a bit misleading. The Yum! Center is the practice facility. The KFC Yum! Center is the name of the downtown arena.

 

I know, the joke doesn't work as well adding the KFC part:lol:.

I take it that Papa John's pizza will not be sold during a basketball game.

I would say that is a good guess. Was Papa John's at Freedom Hall?

From KSR comments:

 

I will only recognize the new downtown arena as "The Sypher Center"

 

 

P.S. I actually want to go to a game there. Should be nice for Louisville...just wish it was an NBA team instead of the Cards.

So will UK play in this arena once a year like they do at Freedom Hall?

UK will still be playing in Freedom Hall.

Will John Schnatter be banned from taking half court shots?

So when UK beats them this year we can all say "the bird was yummy":laugh:

Negative.

That stinks. Why will they not let UK play at "The Bucket"? Seems like you would want that type of crowd in the downtown area.
