New UNT Stadium Naming rights - Apogee

[Grant.UNT]

Why does it need to be recognizable? Maybe the whole reason for this agreement with us is so they become more recognizable. Besides, would you rather change names with some of the "more recognizable" companies on the list posted...like taco bell? I actually do think it rolls off the tongue and think it could have been much, much worse! I'm happy!

i just wanted it to be Mean Green Stadium. I didn't want to see naming rights sold, that's all.

I hear what you're saying. I miss the days when stadium names all had their own local character, instead of corporate names. But the impact of $20 million to our athletic department over 20 years far outweighs the burden of a corporate stadium name. You've got to appreciate the possibilities this opens up that otherwise would not exist. And don't think other conferences won't notice a school that is able to obtain a donation like this, and this quickly. Again, I understand where you're coming from, but you've got to be excited when you see the bigger picture.
