DRC breaking news -- UNT in market for new naming rights partner for Apogee Stadium

[greenjoe]

If you name both the stadium and the field, keep in mind that the field is at the stadium, not the reverse.

O’Riley’s Field at Interstate Battery Stadium.

So is the current contract offered the balance of the original Apogee agreement ?  10 years for $10 mil ?

I think this is good, the deal could have been much better since much of that money was for services rendered rather than actual cash. At the bowl game they said Toyota and a few others names have been in contact.

Also, I thought I remembered folks complaining about the actual quality of those services to boot. I assume neither side was really happy with the contract in the end.

I always thought a stadium named for an internet provider should have better wi-fi service.

Well, what is that phrase that we hear so often....."only at North Texas".

[Old Denton]

Cool Beans Stadium is fun-sounding.

[southsideguy]

did they have to pay to get out of the contract.

Good, I was tired of hearing it called Apology Stadium every time my buddy went to games with me.

Or Applebee Stadium. 

Apathy stadium was the most suitable name for it in half its existence.

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?

Near the bottom of the story.

WinStar seems unlikely.  They have their own I-35 exposure 25 miles up the road.

Ryan-Mitchell Stadium sounds wonderful!

Patrick Cobbs stadium has a nice ring to it.

[Matt from A700]

We should create a Section .500 and name it after Seth Littrell.

[FirefightnRick]

The new name will involve Ryan.

Not surprised. Just means shuffling sponsorship dollars from CUSA to UNT. CUSA is out a conference championship sponsor I would imagine.
