This puts a whole new spin on "Let's go Krogering".

The deal is between JMI Sports and Kroger, as JMI acquired the ability to sell naming rights in its last deal with UK.

Is it the field or the stadium? Comments indicate it will only be the field, and the stadium will still be Commonwealth.

That would be a welcome move for the hard core football fans who resent the football field being named after a basketball coach - one that gave them Hal Mumme and Bill Curry. But if what I'm hearing is true, they aren't going to get their wish.

Too be clear, JMI sports gets the revenues from this transaction as part of their 15 year - $210MM deal that was signed in 2015 (unless that contract allows for additional revenues from naming rights which I don't think it does).

Ashley Madison has already contacted Bjork about Vaught Hemingway. Guess they're trying to reach as many cheaters as possible.
