A little birdie tells me that the High Point name will be gone soon.

Technically the agreement for the naming rights ended June 30th so this is no surprise

Hopefully we get a lot more money for the name with the B1G umbrella over us.

It's going to be a fake name? I don't remember that movie all that much and if they had a fake sponsor in there. Or S.H.I.T lol?

In June 2011, Rutgers agreed to an eight-year naming rights deal with then-named High Point Solutions worth $600,000 annually. While the term expires on June 30, 2019, HighPoint can extend the deal for two more years at $750,000 annually.

If they want to, HighPoint can keep it going through this year and next which, jokes aside given the state of our program, they'd be dumb not to do at that cost.

TCF Bank sponsors Minnesota's stadium at a cost of $35 million over 26 years, so almost double per-year what HighPoint pays.

They're gone. Hence this post.

I'd love to just tell but I have rules I'm governed by.

Awesome!!

Why bother posting, then? Can you say when this information will become public?

Hm, interesting. Woulda thunk it was a no-brainer but glad to have them outta here.

 

[kcg88]

Theres concerns about how much I'm being used so, hence the rules. Glad someone else put it out there.

 

[MGSA99]

SHI Stadium? You know how easy it will be for people to mockingly call it S**T Stadium?

* facepalm *

 

[Mikemarc]

Love the money..

The name?? Not so much.

S H I Stadium jokes will write themselves.

 

[Knight Shift]

SMH. You've got to be SHI tting me? Do they think this stuff through?

SHI IT company. Rutgers never fails to amuse.

Welcome to the **** place.

 

[Mikemarc]

Not blaming Rutgers at all on the naming issue..

Would you prefer less money for a better name? If that’s the best deal Hobbs had he had to take it

 

[AreYouNUTS]

This is a ******* disaster. Only us. DO NOT call it "S.H.I." Stadium. PLEASE. Use the full name!!!

 

[sct1111]

Alright! **** stadium! Way to go Rutgers!

 

[RUbot]

It will always be Rutgers Stadium to me

... just like it will always be Taylor Ham... and Q Tips and The Garden State Arts Center etc etc..

 

[RUSK97]

What the SHI???!

 

[Zak57]

Doesn't that money actually seem light? Who wants to find out what other naming rights for the B1G teams are getting if they have any?

 

[Knight Shift]

This is a ****ing disaster. Only us. DO NOT call it "S.H.I." Stadium. PLEASE. Use the full name!!!

They may finally close the "Lower Bowl":

 

[RU from Jersey_rivals]

Is it April 1st again already!

 

[RutgersSam]

Who in the world names their company with the acronym SHI?????

 

[Knight Shift]

Rutgers, of course!!!

 

[ScarletteK80]

Thought this was a "Mugrat" article, then remembered it is July. [poop][poop]. Not really amusing though.

Not at all.

Here’s a tweet from 2017..This deal would be 5th highest in the country.

I’d rather us get 0 money and call it RUTGERS Stadium. We clearly don’t use money anyways. We don’t need more money. **** football program, stupid *** athletic director agreeing to name the stadium SHIIT stadium

Welcome to the SHI House

If this news had come out yesterday, we may have done a three hour episode.

Our next corporate sponsored stadium name will be the Department of Uniformed Men Proudly Serving The Environment Revolution.

 

[MikeRU09]
