I get it doesn't really matter to us anyway as it is not our stadium or our sponsor.
But out of the 2 options he puts in the twitter post, EPIC Arena rolls off the tongue much better then EPIC Stadium

i'm quite disappointed they were given a choice
i was hoping for Boatie McBoat Face mk2  and let the fans suggest the names
The Wigan Athletic we hate Wigan Warriors but we dont know why stadium
on a serious note, not bothered. We rent the stadium on match day, we pay rent for that. i still call it the JJB anyway, and probably will carry on doing so |

New Central Park for me. Always will be. I don't care what anyone else calls it.
We all of us long ago gave up the joy of having time-honoured and instantly recognisable stadium names. Millennial fans will never know what locations like Central Park, Knowsley Road and the Boulevard actually meant. They were old sheds, but ancient and soaked in history and tradition.
It doesn't matter anymore. How could it with stupid names knocking around like The Mend-A-Hose Jungle and the Totally Wicked Stadium?
Our grandfathers would turn in their graves.

| If Central Park had naming rights sold to a sponsor, we might not have needed to sell it  |

Absolutely. Ultimately we don’t own the stadium and never will |

You say "Won" the rights, I believe they're the parent company of the Latics owners. So just a way for Latics to manipulate Financial Fair Play.

Aye, looks that way.
I’ve been frustrated with some of the BS from these new Latics owners as a guy who wants both clubs to work as closely together as possible but the naming of the stadium matters very little. It had a crap name before and it’ll have a crap name after. |

As a wanderers fan I can confirm it’ll always be The Reebok.
Even when going shopping you’ll tell folk ‘just nipping Reebok’  |

Ditto.
If there any latics fans in earshot I make sure that they hear that I call it the JJB. |

| Quote: Wigan6/Leeds1 Andy "Europa Point Investment Corporation (“EPIC”) has won the naming rights for the stadium - DW Stadium no more.
"Won the rights" as in "No outside company wanted to sponsor the stadium, so the owner found a nice tax-deductible way of moving his own cash from one pocket to another"?
