Things I don't like about Jeld-Wen:

1) Before now, I'd never ever in my life ever seen the either the words "Jeld" or "Wen."
2) Those words are meaningless words (to me).

I've actually had Jeld Wen as a business client, so I know what a horrible company they are. Fyi, they own the Portland-based marketing agency Creative Media Development, yet another small company this soulless conglomerate has absorbed over the years. But hey, their windows and doors are supposed to be REALLY GREAT.

Oh cool! Two things style:

1) The name is clearly a Jedi name.
2) I didn't care about the company before - now I care just enough to boycott their products.

Forget the official name; Timbers Army needs to nut up and create a clever nickname for the stadium. Something like "The Pulp Mill", or "The Sawmill."

It also seems like it could be an anagram for something. Oral Sex?

@theterminizer: I think maybe you don't know what the word "anagram" means.

K-falls is quite a way south of Eugene. Next time the City hands Merritt Paulson a bag of money they should demand naming rights to the stadium. Seriously we probably paid more than Conservative Campaign Funder, I mean Window maker Jeld-Wen...

@ROM
1) The word 'wen' is familiar to me.
2) It's not a good thing: it's a cyst that people get on their head that's filled with fatty secretions.
3) Something that sounds like "jelled wen" sounds vaguely disgusting to me.

This name is extremely annoying.

I'm with dimag....let's just all start referring to the stadium as The Mill and then the millions they brokered on marketing and branding expectations will be shot.

Like how everyone calls Michigan Stadium "The Big House." We're just going to watch soccer at The Mill and forget that Jeld-Wen exists.

It'll always be Civic Stadium to me. What's Multnomah Stadium? My parents didn't even call it that... I think you made it up.

@Carl...HA! Good one!

@Annie - Multnomah Athletic Club built the stadium, then turned it over to the city sometime in the 50s.

Lewd Jen Field.

Fits the city's strip-club aesthetic.
