St. Louis—Contrary to the opinions of a certain number of Saint Louis University basketball fans, the Chaifetz Arena will not be known as the "RACk" or any variation of the word "rack," according to University sources.

The "RACk" was a horrible nickname choice for SLU's newest on-campus addition, named in honor of alumnus Richard A. Chaifetz, and was quickly written off by the Athletic Department and the Board of Trustees.

I would enjoy people calling it Chaifetz Arena at Saint Louis University, like it is supposed to be called.

You want your arena to be dubbed a nickname by a visiting team member who complains about the noise, or a member of the national media who is impressed by the student turnout, not some hoosier on billikens.com.
