It's weird how concerned y'all are with the stadium name.

Don't care at all what it's called. I care what the university is raking in.

 We still have the Field naming $ponsorship opportunity.

I hope we don't do that.  That's just confusing when you visit a venue that has one name for the stadium and another for the field.  Usually, after you go home, you end up remembering neither.

That said, for the right price, I could be persuaded to allow an exception.

Just give me a quarterback that makes good decisions.

I'm going to predict that tomorrow's press conference reveals that the terms of DATCU's naming rights agreement includes a sweetheart financing deal for the athletic center expansion. I can dream right?

I don’t get why a few on here are so down on this naming agreement. DATCU is more recognizable to me than Apogee and I love the connection to the community.

Simple: show me the financials.

How about being pleased that a Denton institution with $1.5 billion in assets was available in this economy. I trust the financials will be fine.

Agree.

Assuming the financials are strong, this is a great partnership.

Massive pay bump from Apogee.

Just finished watching the press conference.  Weird that there's absolutely no mention of money or any compensation.

Maybe we’re getting paid in free pens. 
 

This isn’t surprising, we have a history of lacking transparency when it comes to numbers. 
 

Edit- First part was a joke, second part isn’t. But hey we’re 22.7% ahead this year of ticket sales at this time in 2018 in months ending in “t”.

Provided it is cash that would be pretty good actually, a piece of progress from the last deal.

Those "in kind" services like in the Apogee deal should usually really be discounted by about 80%

I wonder how many Prime Suites and Club Level Seats were thrown in to sweeten the deal?

[Marty]

Sounds like a great partnership all the way around. Glad this is over & football season is beginning!

[Wag Tag]

Hopefully it will also drive local support! GMG

I’m curious why you feel this way. Outside of UNT/Denton circles, does anyone really even care? I’ve never once worried about the naming sponsor of another team.

Programs that only need to worry about 10s of millions of dollars have iconic stadiums with historic names.  If I win the mega-millions.   I will have 50 million to name Odus Mitchell Stadium with the field named for DATCU.  An expanded Alumni Pavilion can be DATCU branded also.
