Charlotte’s got one. One of the RNAV approaches is BANKR3, a nod to Charlotte being the second-largest city for finance, behind New York City.
Detroit has a few notable approach procedures. First is the MIGGY departure, a nod to famous Detroit Tigers 1/3B/DH Miguel Cabrera, who is actually retiring after this season.
Then there’s the TPGUN STAR, this one’s pretty self-explanatory.
Third is the HHOWE departure, which I believe is a nod to famous Red Wing Gordie Howe.
there’s the PAVYL and ZETTR departures, which are likely nods to famous Red Wings Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.

Minneapolis has the GOPHER arrivals, which is named for the University of Minnesota’s football team, the Gophers. The path takes you right over their arena, Huntington Bank Stadium.
