Start getting used to the home of the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche not being the Pepsi Center.
It’s now Ball Arena, after Ball Corporation — known for making cans and Mason jars — and of course there were so many jokes made on Twitter about the name of the home of a basketball team being named after the thing they play the game with.
But there are also calls for a nickname — apparently, some people may have been calling the previous incarnation “The Can”? Now, because of what Ball Corporation produces, fans out in Denver want to call it … The Jar!
Seriously:
The Can becomes The Jar https://t.co/cR5kGibCm9

If we start calling Ball Arena, "The Jar," it's all worth it. https://t.co/QBlP7F3tMq

Other people pointed out what we said above about basketball at Ball Arena:
Nuggets, announcing a new partnership with Ball Corporation, say Pepsi Center will now be known as Ball Arena. That's a pretty perfect name for a basketball gym if you ask me.

The Denver Nuggets arena is being changed from Pepsi Center to āBall arenaā
