Naming rights for CSU's new stadium - ideas?

Premium seating. Loge boxes, box seats, press box etc. Hughes has little of that=large revenue increase. And if its paid for from donations and that extra revenue goes to the ADept=win/win
Sustainability is the key concern I would think. I don't see sustainability in any revenue projections unless CSU gets into a power conference. You have to expect the peak revenue will occur in the first year, then decline after that.
CSU majors:
Apparel and Merchandising
Drawing
Fibers
Interior Design
Merchandising
Metalsmithing
Music Therapy
Painting
Photo Image Making
Pottery
Printmaking
Construction Management
I got tired of looking at garbage majors. GO to CSU if you want a minimum wage job. Also PE credits count toward graduation

Bump for gasm. Top 3 in the nation in these majors correct?
Premium seating is not just magically gobbled up (even with the vaunted Denver Broncos). So I am sure it will be an increase in revenue, but you keep talking about substantial and you were bragging last week about how CSU has no money concerns. It all sounds myopic. Or maybe our definitions of "large" increases are different from yours.

So that isn't a straight up 10 million increase since you already have those things right?
lmao,"i majored in fibers..."
I'm sure CU has its share of worthless majors.
And yes Vets make minimum wage. $200k=minimum wage?

That is what I call taking a poo.
So once again, you have no idea what would constitute at $10MM in additional sponsorships. The stadium I get - the rest, not so much. Did ICON point to other stadiums that had similar sponsorship arrangements? Where multiple corps were paying to sponsor concessions, concourses..... and?
:lol: I guess those handy Drawing majors came in handy for the Stadium concepts
I think it means making spiderwebs or shoelaces, or whatever you kids are calling it these days.
can you imagine what the average csu grad salary would be if it weren't for that vet school?
Don't laugh at metalsmithing. Renaissance festivals everywhere are hiring now!
average vet salary is 46k to 103k. I am now starting to understand how you came to all these conclusions.

The only borderline one I saw was Dance. I'm glad those pottery majors made my plates, pretty good work imo

Dance majors are funny. I constantly receive calls from parents saying, "If I'm paying for her school she is not taking Dance. Please change her major."
:lol:
Business, engineering, occupational therapy etc
:wtf:
What universities don't offer those majors? Please give me the # for an Interior Design major, my place could use some sprucing up
No one here will argue about CSU having a top notch vet program or investing a lot in research. Many of us are residents of the state and are proud to have that within the state. More power to CSU for continued success in those areas.
Ft. Collins is also a great town. I don't know about #1 rank. I'm sure there was a magazine or web site that ranked it there on some criteria. For what it has to offer, it's very affordable and a nice place to live within one of the best states in the country. You should be proud of that.
Where I start to take exception is the "athletics get what they deserve" portion of that. That's a matter of opinion. In a free market, what is deserved is what private investors, revenues and taxpayers are willing to pay for and this may be modified down if athletic expansion does not fit within the overall mission of the university. For example, many Ivy League colleges have resources and achievements that dwarf what we have at CU and CSU. Their endowments are larger than the GDPs of many nations. They were the first colleges to play football in the USA and have some old national championships to their credit. Do they "deserve" to have athletic facilities that would give them opportunities to compete at the highest levels? It sounds like you would make that case. But it doesn't fit within the mission.
What concerns me with what CSU is proposing is that it's based on ego (i.e., "we deserve it") and hope (i.e., "it's a long shot, but maybe we'll get an invite to the BCS table if this is in place and there's no way that will happen without it"). Considering the revenues from the MWC media deals and the likelihood that huge, sustainable increases in attendance with 100% sale of luxury seating are over-estimated, stadium advertising fees are over-estimated, and alternate uses of the stadium as a revenue stream are overstated... there is a high likelihood that Colorado taxpayers, CSU tuition payers, and CSU academic programs will be back-ended via the university having to step up and cover financial shortfalls through university funds. That is a strong basis for objection from many interested parties when the justifications are "ego" and "hope".
All that said, I'm willing to pay more in state taxes to cover this if it means an end to the RMS.
This is now the second time you've mentioned that CSU "deserves" a new stadium. I'd honestly love for you to expound on this a bit. Why does CSU deserve a new stadium?
For allowing people all over the country to obtain a Bachelor's/Master's Degree online for cheap!!!!
Pretty much every school has online programs
so, I guess CSU doesn't deserve a stadium then?
