Need help with a word - creative ideas needed!

I have to write an article about a music stage that was destroyed by fire and they want to have a "name" for the stage in the article. It never HAD a name, but they want one now. Sort of like calling it "Old Faithful" or something like that. I can't think of anything!!!! Help!?!?

Here are specifics. It was a portable stage (an old converted mobile home or large camper). It is used at the K-Ville bluegrass festival. It's sides flipped up to be the roof.

Here are a couple things I had thought...
Tiny Ryman (after the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville)
Old Flopsides
Music Mansion

Ummm....as you can see, I'm not very creative tonight. Deadline is tomorrow. Suggestions?!?!?

If the stage is not going to be rebuilt, they just want to name a stage that burned up in a fire - how about Old Smoky?

If it is to be rebuilt - Phoenix?

LOL, Marilyn. Love "Old Smoky" That's a thought. I'm not sure it was too appropriate BEFORE the fire, however!

Since it never had a name, I would just call it "The Old K-Ville Bluegrass Festival Mobile Stage" so the folks reading the article know what you are talking about. Nothing works like simplicity.

Was it in its own building, or did the building house a business too? (e.g. Pop & Sons General Store Stage.)

Could you just name it after the street it was located on?

I think either of those would help the reader visualize the location.
