Now's your last chance to guess the name of Lincoln's Haymarket Arena because an announcement will be made at 10:00am. Jack Mitchel is reporting that it's a local business, although my understanding that that's based on hearsay rather than anything solid.
So who do you think it is? Some of my guesses include:
- Pinnacle Bank
- Union Bank
- Nelnet
- ConAgra
- BNSF
- Bryan LGH
I could go on -- I haven't mentioned any insurance companies, for example. What are your guesses, serious or otherwise?
UPDATE: Hey what do you know? My first guess was right! Pinnacle Bank Arena is the new name. Commence celebration and/or whining.

See what your friends and neighbors have to say about this.
Runza? Ameritas? NBC Bank? Empyrean? The Brass Rail?
Nelnet was top of my mind. I suggest Scooters Center to Jack Mitchell yesterday.
Hopefully it’s not Valentino’s or Runza or something silly.
I could see First National Bank (FNB) making a play for it.
Verizon loves to name these things, but they have a few already, I think.
What about Kawasaki?
Runza. Games will be played in The Bun.
Nah, The Oven. That’ll allow commentators to say things like:
“Somebody must’ve turned on The Oven because the Huskers are heating up!”
I really wish they would just give it a generic name. Generic names don’t require renaming when the “sponsor” is bought out by someone else, or goes out of business. I mean.. Bob Devaney died in 97 and we didn’t have to rename that sports complex.
True, but generic names don’t bring in a $11.5 million windfall, either.
