Mansfield ISD negotiating FB stadium naming rights

[OldTimer]

According to todays FW*Telegram the Mansfield ISD is negotiating with Harris Methodist Hospital (who is building a new hospital closeby where the stadium will be located) for $500,000......interesting...results will be forthcoming when known.

Another possible source for NT....hospitals?

Can you believe one of the Mansfield ISD's trustees...stated she had reservations about using the word Methodist in the stadium name...because it might be an endorsement of religion and hurt someones feelings....$500,000 on the line for about 10 years....(Harris Methodist Hospital opens in Mansfield December 2006 and they wanted to do something for the community)

I think we spend WAAAAAYYYY too much time worrying about people's "feelings" but that a whole other discussion.

Are there many highschool stadiums that have corporate sponsorship? I havent heard of that in the past.

Alright, I'll derail this thread.

If it were the "United Muslim Hospital" would you feel the same way about the name being on a school stadium?

GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Im all about representation of the majority, not catering to the minority. SO, if the majority of people want a Muslim Hospital to sponsor a stadium, I say go for it. What I am not a fan of is one person whose hurt feelings derail an entire stadium funding project because of something so trivial as a name, when that hospital system has been named such for 70+ years.

If they were willing to fork over $500,000 for the naming rights, I support Fouts Field at Taliban Stadium!

The training room at the new AC already has Presbertiean Hospital's name on it. I'm sure there was some cash paid for that naming right.
