Tell us what you think about these Utah sports venue names

Did saying goodbye to Rio Tinto Stadium, Delta Center or Cougar Stadium make you sad or glad?

As Real Salt Lake’s stadium gets changed to America First Field, some fans said they’ll never stop calling it “The RioT.” But we wondered what you think of the new name — and the names (both past and present) of other Utah sports venues.

Rank each of the names below, and we’ll see which ones Utahns think are hot and which they wish would go away (or are glad they already did).

We’re looking at names here, not how great or terrible the venue is or what you think of the team that plays there.

For bonus points, tell us in the comments what makes a name good or bad.
