Dallas Mavericks Stadium ?

[greenjoe]

I've been hearing so much about Mark Cuban for some time. His reality TV show, his epic battles with the NBA, and of course his considerable wealth. Just for fun, would North Texas accept a gift from Cuban for the construction of a new on campus stadium with the provision it be named "Dallas Maverick Stadium" or something similar ? Other businesses put their name on stadiums all the time. What would we do if instead of Movietime, or Ameriquest, we got the Mavericks ?

This wont ever happen, no need to discuss. NT would name the stadium 'Sweaty Grundle Stadium' if someone would pay for it.

Call me crazy, but I would rather stay at Fouts than have Mark Cuban pay for it to then turn around and call it "Dallas Mavericks" Stadium. People only thought it was strange at the idea of having it called Darrell Dickey practice field. I can hear it now "Come play in our new stadium called Dallas Maverick Stadium"....."oh, your stadium is in dallas?"......

Not often that I agree with GMG1999 on anything, but I definitely do this time. Lousy idea.

Cuban is all about marketing...and it would not make for good marketing of his BASKETBALL team to put their name on a FOOTBALL stadium 30+ miles away from where his team plays.

DD's right. It won't ever happen.

Hell call it Mark Cuban field for all I care, give him a fake degree, and accept him as our own. He loves to throw his money around so why not on us. He loves to build something and watch it grow, he can get in on the ground floor of NT athletics. And with in 5 yrs have a major success.

Wouldn't Cuban rather plug another one of his properties instead? I can see it being HDNet Stadium.

I guess enought topics we will agree eventually

I didn't realize NT was in the position of picking and choosing who they could take $30 million dollars from! I can't believe anyone would have a problem with that. It would be national news for a week and it would be different. I love it, no sports team sponsors a stadium. It would rule.

Now, that dog WILL hunt!

I say we start e-mail campaign.

What better adevertising then the 35/45 corridor. If it happened you know ESPN would be all over it.

Why would we turn away a multi-million dollar gift? Thankfully, I don't think Cuban would ask us to name it after his bball team. It would be named after something else.

I think this was brought up about 6 months ago when it was said that the Mavs were allowed to use UNT facilities for a camp/off-season stuff. If true, we're probably in Cuban's good regards.

Another game played by the Mavs on sunday like they did tonight, and Mark Cuban might be looking to spend some money somewhere else for sure. Goodness that AWFUL.
