Newark Arena → Prudential Center – The Devils' owner has announced that a deal with Prudential has been reached. [1] This needs to be done by an admin, since an article called Prudential Center already exsists, previously redirected to Prudential Tower. Milchama 22:25, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Add any additional comments I know we shouldn't move the article until the Arena name is confirmed (look at the CitiField / Citi Field mess). Reports list the arena as Prudential Center, but Prudential Center is a redirect to Prudential Tower, which is part of the Prudential Center complex in Boston.

The question is do we take the Prudential Center name for this arena, and rename the Boston article Prudential Center (Boston)? Or do we just call this article Prudential Center (Newark), Prudential Center (New Jersey) or something like that.

Since the Prudential Center article is merely a redirect, I suggest the first option. Milchama 18:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Being as the Devils and Prudential are still in "discussions about a naming rights deal", we should probably hold off on renaming until "Prudential Center" becomes final. John cena123 03:31, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

This is not about "what should we rename it now"? This is about if the Prudential Center name stays, what should we rename the article? Milchama 12:13, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

How about calling it "Prudential Center (Arena)", and put it under the header of the main "Prudential Center" so when people search it, they can easily find what theyre looking for. Skrip00 02:08, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

The Prudential Center in NJ will easily replace the Boston facility as the Prudential Center of record. Therefore, I believe the article should be under Prudential Center. Someone already tried to redirect Newark Arena to Prudential Center, which was wrong, since it removed the edit history. If we move it to Prudential Center, it should be done the right way, with an Admin moving it, edit history intact. Milchama 22:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ap-devilsarena&prov=ap&type=lgns this AP article says it is official. we can name the article Prudential Center (Newark) and the Boston one can be Prudential Center (Boston). Drhaase 2:04, 8 January 2007

Better to name this article "Prudential Center" and put a {{alternateuses}} at the top. --Krm500 10:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I say move it to Prudential Center (Newark) and make Prudential Center a disambiguation page. -146.186.210.78 20:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Since there isn't an actual article on the Boston Prudential Center, I don't think a dismbig would be necessary. The Prudential Center article should be about the arena, because that's what people will think of when they hear this term from now on. Milchama 20:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
