Amazon has purchased the naming rights to Seattle's KeyArena, which will now be known as Climate Pledge Arena.
The arena, which is currently under redevelopment, is set to be the home of an unnamed Seattle-based NHL team which is planning to join the league for the 2021-2022 season.
Amazon's announcement on Instagram highlighted the company's commitment to sustainability: it plans for the arena to produce zero waste and heavily reduce its current use of plastics, and will also be powered by renewable energy as it seeks to eliminate its carbon footprint.
"It will be the first net zero carbon certified arena in the world, generate zero waste from operations and events, and use reclaimed rainwater in the ice system to create the greenest ice in the NHL," Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos wrote in the Instagram post.
Tod Leiweike, CEO of NHL Seattle, told The Seattle Times that his organization was excited for the chance to feature sustainability in the arena, which he said was a goal of the team before Amazon's investment.
I never dreamed that we would have this type of platform, he told the Times.
So no more big energy to be used there? Only wind and solar produced power? Fidiots!
I vote for CHOP House
So how does everyone get there? How is the plumbing going to work?
Most important of all - what makes them think anyone will support a team in Seattle that will be over 90% Caucasian?

I love The Babylon Bee. They almost got me on this one.
So there is NO energy used besides “renewable”?
None?
Also, must be exciting to say “I’m going to the climate pledge arena with my friends!!
Or “I can’t wait to get to the VAGINA MONOLOGUES ARENA to see my team!!”
Or “Tonight my team is playing at the WE’RE GAY AND WE’RE HERE TO STAY stadium!!”
Or “I just got tickets to see my team at the BLACK LIVES MATTER CRACKAS DON’T venue!!”
total mass psychosis grips the land...
Players will ditch jets and ride bicycles to Seattle?
No need for plumbing. Just poop in the grass.
Betcha that building costs 100 times more than a typical one. Maintenance cost will be expensive too. Really sad waste of money.
Will the hockey team be playing on a half melted rink to virtue signal the melting ice cap?
So then that begs the question, how does Amazon benefit from reduced oil usage?
People now would be more dependent on Amazon deliveries as they can’t drive to the store.
Yeah the calcs on that will work out about the same as they do for the Perpetual Motion Machine.
Name needs a tag line: “All in for globalism!!”
".....faster than you can say 'Jack Robinson'!"
The good news is that the visiting hockey teams will travel there by horseback.
It is a great day indeed!
The naming rights for Heinz Field and PNC Park both expire next year. I shudder to think what we’ll end up with.
Perfect!
So gay
