I’d call it "Beacon Arena."
Why:
- Symbolic and inclusive — a beacon suggests light, guidance and community pride without tying the name to a single person, company, or political stance. It’s aspirational and welcoming to everyone.
- Tightly brandable — short, easy to remember and pronounce; lends itself to a strong logo and merch.
- Timeless — unlike corporate names that age with sponsorship deals, "Beacon" can remain relevant for decades.
- Flexible — works for sports, concerts, community events and civic uses; can be paired with a geographic tag if desired (e.g., "Riverdale Beacon" or "Beacon at Harborview").
- Allows local recognition — you can still honor people or donors by naming plazas, gates, suites or statues around the arena while keeping the main name community-owned.
If you want alternatives tailored to local flavor, I can suggest names that reference your town’s geography, history or notable figures and explain the trade-offs for each. Would you like suggestions based on a specific town?
