We're going to do an NBQ&A, and the NBQ&A comes from our producer-level patron, Rachel.

So I was wondering about the various arena names and how they're differentiated from one another.

Not the corporate sponsor names, but what separates sponsor name Arena from Garden, from Center, from Forum, from Fieldhouse Coliseum, etc.

Do any of these names imply specific features in their arenas and what goes into how a new arena is named? Are there any names that are more out of style or artifacts of earlier eras of basketball than others? Really interesting question.

However, I don't think there's any real rhyme or reason to why they're called that.

In terms of Madison Square Garden, is there any significance to the garden part of it?

A piece of ground or other space commonly with ornamental plants, trees, uses a park or other public recreation area.
