NATIONAL CAR RENTAL ARENA?! LET'S TRY NATIONAL ARENA

          National Car Rental (NCR) will pay the NHL Panthers
     $2.2M a year for 10 years, with a 3% increase every year,
     for naming rights to the new Sunrise arena, according to
     Julie Kay of the MIAMI HERALD.  The agreement is "higher"
     than the annual amount of the Heat's 20-year, $40M naming
     rights agreement with American Airlines, but "less than the
     $2.5 million a year the Panthers were aiming for."  Panthers
     Owner Wayne Huizenga's Republic Industries owns NCR.  The
     arena's logo is "expected" to feature "National Center" in
     bold, with "National Car Rental" in lighter print on top. 
     One arena source discussed a possible name: "It will
     probably be abbreviated to National Center -- that is, if we
     can talk the company into it" (MIAMI HERALD, 7/14).
