Mine Shaft* Not Mines Shaft

I go to an engineering school in the states. Our school was originally a mining school back in the good 'ol days. As such, the student body overwhelmingly voted yes to name the basket ball stadium the Mine Shaft. Some girl got upset with this and now we have to change the coolest name ever.

EDIT: I have officially sent a lengthy email to the administrators involved. Awaiting a response.
