I heard a large bank in the city will buy out the naming rights..
Hopefully.. I wouldnt want it to be named after "Ty Murray".

Bank of the West Arena "The Pit"

I think the "Ty Murray PBR Pit" has a nice ring to it. Works for a bar, too.

Muuuch better than "Ty Murray's Pit" ;-p

Or the Compass Bank Arena "The Pit"..
Better yet the Bank of Albuquerque Arena.

Hahah I just like the idea of a large but local bank to buy out the naming rights.

I don't mean to rain of your parade, Bradly, but the Bank of Albuquerque is owned by a giant national bank - the Bank of Oklahoma, i believe. Your best bet would be First Community Bank. yay local!
