Talk:Thompson–Boling Arena

Coordinate error
To whom it concerns

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Thompson Boling Arena located in Knoxville TN. I was looking at the Thompson Boling Arena page on Facebook and noticed that the location is wrong. Not sure what mapping software is linked to it (MapQuest, Google, etc) but its off. I've attached a link of Thompson Boling Arenas FB page.....

Thompson–Boling Arena → Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center – On August 23, 2023, the University of Tennessee announced a 10-year arena naming rights deal with Food City that officially rebranded Thompson-Boling Arena as "Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center" or simply "Food City Center." The change is detailed by the Knoxville News Sentinel here: https://www.knoxnews.com/story/sports/college/university-of-tennessee/football/2023/08/23/tennessee-basketball-food-city-center-thompson-boling-arena-naming-rights/70652072007/. Requesting this change so that the Wikipedia page related to the arena reflects the most recent and accurate name. Kelhiser (talk) 15:23, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now, then reevaluate in a couple of months to how reliable sources treat the common name once the basketball season is underway. I sense it could be similar to Arrowhead Stadium, where that official name was extended to 'GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium' because of new sponsorship, but the common name stayed at the shorter name.

 * Oppose per WP:NAMECHANGES. The arena itself hasn't even changed the &lt;title&gt; text of its home page, and news sources in late September and early October are still using "Thompson-Boling Arena" without mentioning Food City except in articles specifically devoted to the naming rights deal. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 01:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:CONCISE and others' comments. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:22, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. We generally avoid sponsorship names. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 10 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Oppose per previous comments. - Darker Dreams (talk) 06:44, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
