Come July 2018, Air Canada Centre will become Scotiabank Arena after the bank won naming rights for the Toronto multi-purpose venue.

Change is rarely met with optimism, and this was (mostly) no exception.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the news.

Apparently The Air Canada Centre will be renamed the Scotiabank Arena as of July 1, 2018. Will you still call it the ACC?
