I find it funny but why do people on this board feel the need to change the name of everything?
It keeps them from arguing about who started the prowlers and who let the owls out.
hey! Let's not forget the band. LOL
Or the $5 parking fee…LOL

Re: What should the Arena be called if you dont like "The Burrow"?
As for the whole "burrow" thing, I look at it in terms of "what is a burrow?" It's a hole in the ground where the owl lives. Not terribly intimidating to visiting teams. If I were doing the branding, I'd probably play up the "owl" and not the "burrowing" so much. Think in terms of roosts, dens or maybe something totally outside the box. (That said, I don't want to change the burrowing owl mascot. Love the little guys!)
Anyone see Slapshot? Think about the guy taking the ax to the team bus. When asked what he was doing, he simply said "I'm making it look mean!" :D
I dunno… let me think about it.

The Burrow is the home of a Burrowing Owl and our Burrow is the Home of the Owls. It's perfect IMO. The football stadium would be better served being called The Burrow, however that will have a corporate name so The Burrow for the Basketball team is excellent.

Not sure there are too many arena names that have "intimidating" names. Consider the Gators arena is called The O'Connell Center. The Indiana Hoosiers (and Illinois) arena is called Assembly Hall. There are a million examples of unintimidating names.
The O'Connell center is locally known as the "O-Dome".
