Pikiell Court at The Rutgers Athletic Center

Let's list the great NJ-based companies who could step up and easily do this:

Fortune 300:

• Johnson & Johnson
• Merck
• Prudential (and I don't care if SH plays in their arena in Newark)
• Honeywell
• PBF Energy
• Cognizant Technology Solutions
• Becton-Dickinson
• Celgene
• ADP
• Newell Brands
• NRG Energy
• Public Service Enterprise Group

Wonder how deep the RU connections are at any of these?

How about instead of the horribly outdated "Home of the Scarlet Knights" on the side of the building, we saw the logo of one of these and Block R? Perfect together. Would be cool.

Also goes to show a company like High Point or SHI can do the stadium, there are surely even more mid sized companies out there who could do the RAC.

You might as well take all the pharmaceutical companies off your prospect list. With public scrutiny over drug prices, and a perception that pharmaceutical companies waste money on unneeded marketing expenses, I don't see any pharmaceutical company opening themselves to widespread criticism by spending millions of dollars to buy the naming rights to a sports arena.

Potentially, yes. SHI even inquired about the RAC as well, according to a poster (can't remember the handle) on this site who's an employee of the company.

There are threads on here and the Issues Board that did some photoshop work of stuff like that.

Of course, just like we all call it Rutgers Stadium. But it’d still be nice to rake in a few dollars right? It seems like the time is right to seek sponsorship soon. The economy is on somewhat stable footing. WBB appears on the road back to national prominence, MBB doesn’t stink anymore, wrestling hosts well attended meets. It has to be worth 750k a year, no?

Sounds reasonable. Florida Atlantic just signed a ten year $5 million deal for naming rights of its arena.

The FAU arena has 3k fewer seats than the RAC.

And it's not even about the number of seats necessarily. It's the number of eyeballs via various media and you would think there's more interest in the visitors coming to the RAC than those coming to FAU.

Well with just about every game on TV these days because of the B1G this is a great reason for an organization to consider this.

Jersey Mike's is not Fortune 300 yet? Tastee Sub?
