Naming rights for Memorial Stadium?
- Thread starter v1nufan
- Start date
Man, you got me thinking. Might end up with booze at the stadium as a result. (and Pinnacle... and Devaney...)
I’d ever was the time. 1 ..people understand Hardships right now with budgets and 2 the American people are anti law/order/military (2nd part a joke pls don’t delete thread due to a joke!!)
25 years ago, no freaking way. Now? I almost expect it to be named after some transgender military deserter who rose to the rank of General in China.
Public sentiment is not usually good on renaming existing stadiums. It's when new ones get built that the naming rights extravaganza gets underway.
Soldier Field is still Soldier Field, the ones that are war memorial stadiums, that's not something you want to mess with unless you just love horrible PR. The old Chicago Stadium stayed with its name until they tore it down and built the United Center in the 90s, that was one of the earlier named facilities
I legitimately don't know what the Sox ballpark is called now and I just drove by it on Saturday.
They won't rename Memorial Stadium because of the reason for the name. The Field is named as well. They won't lack for places to put ads or money. The vaccines will be out soon and football will resume.

Runza Memorial Stadium has a ring to it. I can also hear “Welcome to football Saturday here at Valentino’s Memorial Stadium...”
How about Valentino's Stadium, with the subhead:
We were really, really, really good back in the day. Keep the faith and we might get back there!
Works on a couple different levels.
And the Dorothy Lynch weight room.
Nebraska Furniture Mart Stadium...
“You are looking live at NFM Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska with 90,000 fans chanting GBR including longtime Husker fan Warren Buffet.

I attended several USMNT soccer games down in KC and loved how you could see the Nebraska Furniture Mart store right behind the stadium.
How about "Berkshire-Hathaway" Memorial Stadium for 500 million dollars upfront?
It's not going to happen IMO. Too much history and too much backlash to any renaming attempt. Now they may figure out some way to sell naming or sponsorship rights to other associated facilities but not Memorial Stadium itself.

That pic of Warren reminds me of:
1) Werner Enterprises
2) Kiewit
3) Valmont Industries
4) Baldwin Filters
5) Callahan Auto Parts
6) Adams Industries

I find it humorous the court in Pinnacle Bank Arena has a FNBO ad on it.
Back to my point about booze, it's pretty much an insult for a place named after Devaney to not sell booze. How has this persisted for so long?!
