If we're insisting on it having an aviation theme at least call it the Fletchwaffe

The Adrian Dodoro Centre For People Who Can’t Trade Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too

What is this? A true value solar centre for ants? It has to be at least three times bigger than this.

Among other news, The Hangar is the new name voted the club's high performance training centre:

Essendon today announced that it’s Tullamarine headquarters will be known as “The Hangar”.

Members have provided the money to offset a naming rights sponsorship and voted on the facility name.

“It’s something that we’ll all identify with,” Worsfold said.

“This (Tullamarine facility) has had a commercial name for a number of years and now it has an Essendon branded name which is wonderful for the footy club.

“It’s about saying this is about Essendon footy club — not just the players. It’s a big family, big supporter network. We’re rapt to have been able to have the opportunity to let our members name it.”

no surprises there of course, but I do think it's extremely notable and a wonderful thing that the club, through the support of members, is in the position to forego naming right sponsorship dollars and have the chance to create an identity for the club's headquarters that won't change names every time the sponsorship rights are up.

Kudos to all involved for such a good outcome

Yep. Good name. Logical name. Relevant name.

They also stole the name of our sub-forum here so we'll totally be using that as leverage in the future.

[Stopher]

I like it. A lot.

 

[Milanista28]

I wonder what they have planned for the extensions.

Playing hall and facilities for the ESports team.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Would have liked a new club logo to go with the name but oh well.

Really like The Hagar great name.

It shouldn't be too long until they open a pub at the Hanger and call it "Tanked".....

Caroline is that you?

When I saw the name "The Hangar", I thought they were redoing that series of 20min episodes they had in 2013. The one that followed the players and staff around during their training and preparation.

Dissapointed.

 

[Doss]

Caroline is that you?

Yeth.

 

[Blind Turn]

Yeth.

Yeah, sure you are, and I’m Don Burke

 

[eth-dog]

Good name.

What the hell is wrong with pocketing a mil a year from some crazy rich overseas conglomerate and calling it ‘The ________ Hangar?’

Rinse, repeat, profit

The point is not needing to do it. Having something that is demonstrably owned by the members of the club that isn't up for sale as a commercial asset to be flogged off to the highest bidder. To have something meaningful. I could go on

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Poor decision. Could've locked in an iconic name like GMHBA Stadium.

 

[7zark7]

That video gave me tingles. When the lights were coming on and lighting up the Hangar sign. Wow.

You can't buy me, fool.

It'll always be Shell Stadium to me.

I'm most disappointed Geelong don't get with the times and update their club song every time the whateveritscalled ground changes name.

Shill Stadium was always my preferred nomanclature

I was more of a Baytec Stadium kinda guy.
