A press release I received yesterday (officially issued on April 4) announced that the Amphitheatre formerly known as Coors has officially changed it’s name to…(drums) (balloons flying) (maidens weeping) (more drums) (trumpets) (release the pigeons) (drums stop)…
Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre.
Wah-wah-wah.
Whatever. Coors, Cricket, Cracker Barrel. It doesn’t really matter what they call it. People will still flock to the venue to watch Def Leppard (if not Radiohead) regardless. But here’s my imaginary list of names that were in the running but (alas) weren’t chosen:
- King Stahlman Bail Bonds Amphitheatre (it’s better to know the amphitheatre and not need it than need it and not know it)
- Roberto’s Very Amphitheatre Amphitheatre
- The Amphitheatre at Chula Vista (doesn’t have quite the same ring as The Ballpark at Arlington)
- generic Gaslamp dance club name, i.e. “Amphitheatre,” “Concrete” or “2050″ (the mailing address)
- Mossy Amphitheatre (after the car dealerships)
- Chulajuana Amphitheatre
- Jack in the Box Amphitheatre
- Cox Amphitheatre
- Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club Amphitheatre
- Dr. Seuss’ One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Amphitheatre
- The Whale’s Vagina Amphitheatre
- ATA/Aloha/Skybus Airlines Amphitheatre
- Salk Institute for Biological Studies Amphitheatre
- Chicken of the Sea Amphitheatre
- Souplantation Amphitheatre
- Pat and Oscar’s Amphitheatre
- Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps Amphitheatre
- Hot Dog on a Stick Amphitheatre
- Orville Redenbacher’s Hot Buttery Amphitheatre
- U.S. Navy Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Training Center & Amphitheatre

Don’t forget “Last Ampitheatre on Earth,” Nate.
This is a great list!
Now, if only there were some single source, a publication perhaps, where many such lists were compiled to amuse San Diegans. hmmm.
i’m voting for number 11.
