Guy, from the side though, to the casual highway observer, clearly the name of the building is unclear.

Have a look at the front of the Scotia Bank Place. It is clearly marked Scotia Bank Place in forty foot high letters. Your pictures are from the side not the front.

We should thank our lucky stars that we aren’t going to Riders games at Credit Union Stadium too then!

So, yeah, Saskatchewan has three major venues named after Credit Unions. LOL!

I should have known what the T stands, for. It was my Dad’s bank in Saskatoon for my entire life.

TCU stands (or used to anyway) for Teachers Credit Union. I am quite thankful that they kept Taylor Field in the recently renamed Mosiac Stadium at Taylor Field.

They’re not the same place!! And yes, it’s messed up. I just found the website, and it’s sponsored by TCU Financial. So, I guess TCU doesn’t actually stand for anything at all!! Unless it does in TCU Financial, but I’m too lazy to go that far in my investigation.

I’d have to guess but I bet CU is Credit Union. I had heard of TCU Place, and thought that was SaskPlace. It isn’t?

Ah what a great example you have!
