The arena itself has a bunch of conservation efforts built into it and is supposed to be “carbon neutral” by way of diverting revenue to conservation funds for energy used.

It’s not just a name.

Seattle's KeyArena gets new name: It's now called Climate Pledge Arena

For 25 years, KeyArena has hosted big league sports and was home to the Seattle SuperSonics, but on Thursday NHL officials announced a new name for the venue: It will now be called Climate Pledge Arena. Officials with NHL Seattle announced the new name along with a naming agreement with Amazon...

  • First arena in the world targeting net Zero Carbon certification by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), a leading non-profit organization dedicated to advancing sustainable building practices.
  • Arena will have all-electric operations and be powered with 100% renewable electricity, both from on-site solar panels and off-site renewable energy. Events at the arena will be made fully net zero carbon through investments in forestry projects with organizations such as The Nature Conservancy that will sequester any remaining carbon emissions from arena operations.
  • Carbon emissions and sustainability performance of the arena and all events will be measured and publicly disclosed.
  • All operations and events at the arena will be ‘zero waste’ with durable and compostable containers. A minimum of 95% of all arena waste will be diverted from landfills on a weight basis.
  • Arena will use reclaimed rainwater in the ice system to create the greenest ice in the NHL.
  • Original 44-million-pound roof from the arena will be reused in construction to significantly reduce the embodied carbon of the building.
  • At least 75 percent of the arena’s food program will be sourced locally on a seasonal basis to support regional farmers and producers, and all viable unused food from events will be donated to local community food programs.
  • NHL Seattle and WNBA Storm tickets will double as free public transit passes to promote use of public transportation for attendees, including on the refurbished Seattle Monorail.
  • Amazon and OVG will form the Climate Pledge Arena Sustainability Advisory Council in partnership with community groups to support local environmental initiatives.

Before we enter the coming post-COVID recession, we really should pool some of our money so we can buy a stadium for pennies on the dollar and give it a really cool name like DESTRUCTODOME or something.

But don’t worry, there will still be ample parking for all the gas guzzling carbon emitting vehicles.

Also, straws.

There will be lots of straws.

All straws will be compostsble, as required by Seattle law actually. Same with all disposable dishware at any fast food place here.

And they are offering free bus rides or any local public transit with each ticket. And no there won’t be any new parking built Seattle has pretty strict rules on that.

why not pledge those funds towards helping the environment instead of building yet another stadium in this country

As a Canadian I suppose I'll burn in hell for saying it but this makes it even less likely I'll tune in to watch hockey anytime soon.
What a retarded fucking name, my eyes cannot roll further
