So I see that USC has sold the naming rights to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum to United Airlines, so for the next sixteen years it's the United Airlines Memorial Coliseum, which sounds especially dumb that you're remembering an airline.

Taking an MSU run at this, what would the best and worst corporate sponsors be if MSU were to sell off naming rights to any of its facilities?

GO!

At least with the new scoreboard, we aren't the University of Mize***

We sold naming rights to the stadium to the Davis Wade family when we built the 2nd upper deck. Same with baseball and the Dement family.

I am 100% cool with honoring Polk's request and taking his name off the stadium. There is not a better time than right now to do so.

Completely agree. I would have done it within an hour from when he first said he wanted his name off the stadium.

Nice job explaining the actual realities of the current naming situation on what was supposed to be an opportunity to think up funny ideas for naming.

Sorry. I think the Pearl River Casino Stadium was probably going to be the winner anyway though.

This is true. The stadium co-named after him is now in the landfill. There is precedence on both sides. LSU decided to keep the name Alex Box. Other programs have chosen to retire names such as USC. I think a lot of it depends on how much recognition is associated with it. We identify more with the name of the playing surface, Dudy Noble Field so its no biggie to rename the stadium other than creating tangible evidence of the rift with our 'legend'.

The heck with it, lets name it TIB stadium in honor of our former HC and current AD.

SPS Magazine Stadium.

Now you know why we were charging 19.41 per issue.

Peavey Electronics Stadium. Maybe we could make them throw in a distributed sound system so I can actually hear understand what the 17 is said on the jumbotron.
