Winstar or Choctaw Stadium sounds great!

I could see the "Winstar Wing" becoming a thing.

Promo: Sit in the wing section during a home game and get two free drinks at Winstar after each win.

How about Darell R. Dickey Stadium? That’s my personal choice.

I still can't believe we had the audacity to say that, or the best band in the land when we hosted Texas So.

UNT band is much better than TSU, based on music ability not marching.

The article states the opposite, so which is correct?

Also, I am curious to know if there was a buyout or did they just walk away?

I would prefer the stadium be named after a historical figure associated with North Texas and then add the corporate name to that like ATT Jones Stadium at Tech for example.

I would love to see Coach Mitchell honored in some manner.  How about Ryan-Mitchell Stadium or Winstar Mitchell Stadium?

The article doesn't state the opposite. It says UNT receives "a portion" of it in cash. It seems reasonable to assume that said portion is less than half ( I think vito at the time unearthed the numbers but I forgot since.)

No way screw that. Dude has been dead 100 years.  I respect what he did but he brings no value today whatsoever.  

[Green Light]

Outstanding if Mr. Ryan becomes the stadium’s naming rights sponsor. 
Something else I have always envisioned is Peterbilt parking a green tractor-semi truck in there & blasting the air horn whenever something good happens. 🛻

With all due respect, not that you deserve any for that comment, screw you.  I knew Coach Mitchell and you would never meet a better man.  I am also friend's with his family and they are all great people and still support the university.  He built a program into a winner in his second year and is our most successful coach ever.  Plus, he was brave enough to integrate the team way before the major football, the SWC and SMU with Jerry Levias.  History always brings value regardless of what some dumbass twenty-something like you believes.

Near the bottom of the story.

I am either missing it or misunderstanding something.  I read the article and took from it that Apogee was paying us $1 million per year, some of that in cash and a little in services which had nothing to do with ending the contract.  Regarding the "out" on the agreement, you wrote that there were three options, didn't explain what those were, and they took the second option, don't know what that is.

We need the money too bad to give away naming rights for both the stadium and the field. Obviously I would much rather have stadium/field named after a part of our history though. 

[2020 Sucks]

Dos Equis Stadium!  Instead of paying the athletic department, they just have free beer so that the fans will come out in droves!  Jared can collect his $ from ticket sales and concessions!  After enduring the past 50 years of football, the fans deserve 10 years of free drunks!

We need money. That's not it. It'd be neat, but neat don't pay bills.

I like z Peterbilt Stadium and the GREEN Peterbilt parked in the wing area and leaning on the horn after a score.    HONNNNKKKKK !!!

[GMG_Dallas]

Ryan is an obvious one but I kind of hope we can get a different major business, like Peterbilt, involved. Not because I have anything against the Ryan family, just hoping a new sponsor like Peterbilt can bring new revenue streams and partnerships in other ways.

[greengal]

Casinos all the way.  Both Windstar and Choctaw
