First, it was Gund Arena. Then, in 2005, it became Quicken Loans Arena. Now, the home of the Cavaliers, formerly known as 鈥淭he Q,鈥� has been renamed Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, and Clevelanders have some opinions about that. 

鈥淚t needs to be abbreviated, it's a little bit too long,鈥� said Tiara Grayson, a longtime Cavs fan who was walking in downtown Cleveland a few blocks from the venue. 

Down the street, Vicki King-Bryant shared a similar sentiment about the name, which is derived from Quicken Loans鈥� online subsidiary. 鈥淩ocket Mortgage something ... I think that's crazy!,鈥� she said with a laugh. King-Bryant said she's a fan of the venue and goes to a lot of concerts there, although she's not a fan of the rebranding. 鈥淲e鈥檙e still going to go, though.鈥�

鈥淲hy fieldhouse?鈥� said Rick Jenkins, who was passing by the FieldHouse as venue officials geared up for an event officially announcing the change. 鈥淭hat seems college-like. These are the pros.鈥�

Inside, Cavs CEO Len Komoroski gave a short presentation and said that the new name comes with a multi-year extension of the partnership between Quicken Loans and the Cavaliers.  

Dan Gilbert, who is chairman of both organizations, said he knows that there will be critics of the new name. But, he said, 鈥淎fter a time, there'll probably be some kind of short nickname that takes place naturally, and I think it'll fit in with Cleveland for a lot of reasons.鈥� For example, he said, the 鈥淩ock鈥� in Rocket Mortgage echoes the name of the nearby Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

The FieldHouse is undergoing a $185 million renovation, and a little over a third of that is covered by public money in the form of admission taxes and bonds.
