Rose Garden Arena renamed the Moda Center

Pretty disappointed in this. ODS had to rename itself, then spend millions more advertising it. Ick. I will still call it the Rose Garden.

PORTLAND -- The Rose Garden Arena will now be known as The Moda Center, the Portland Trail Blazers announced Tuesday morning.

The Blazers and Moda Health signed a ten-year naming rights agreement, effective August 13. President and CEO Chris McGowan said he had to sell the naming rights to the arena, in order to revitalize the entire Rose Quarter and take the Blazers organization to a new level. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
