Rick George announces naming rights changes for parts of Folsom

Naming Rights. We recently secured naming rights for two areas within our facilities: the Touchdown Club in the Dal Ward Center is now named for Arrow Electronics (they have a huge presence in the Denver sports market), and the Champions Club in the Champions Center is named for the Crawford Family. We are excited that both have made these investments in our program and thus the new names for each are the Arrow Touchdown Club and the Crawford Club. And most recently, Bill and Kathy Scripps made a significant donation to our initiative in helping student-athletes achieve personal and professional success; we have renamed that program in their honor, the Scripps Leadership and Career Development Program

From the email today. Good work RG! Now to get the west side rebuilt and named... Oh, and finance student fan groups.
 
I hope not. Unless it's for an absurd amount of money and for a really cool company that retains "Folsom Field" and just adds "at ______ Stadium".
It will never be in that order. Every sponsor will want to be first, but I imagine "Folsom Field" being in the name is a requirement for the AD.

That's what I would suspect would be the case if it happened. I think it needs to happen at some point. The other sponsorships are small potatoes compared to that, although I would hope RG is waiting until CU has sustained some kind of success on the field in order to maybe get a larger deal.
 
Is there ever going to be an actual corporate sponsorship for the entire stadium?

As others said I will be livid if they ever change the name from Folsom. You want to slap some corporate sponsorship? Whatever just add Folsom field to it. But if they remove Folsom is idiocy at the highest level. Keep the heritage and history, don’t ruin it. I don’t want the KFC yum center.

The name "Folsom Field" presents a unique challenge there. UW has "Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium" but how on earth do you pull off having the sponsor first when your stadium is already called "field"?
"Southwest Airlines Stadium containing Folsom Field"?
"Southwest Airlines Stadium featuring Folsom Field"?
"Southwest Airlines Stadium which includes Folsom Field"?

Bank of the West Stadium at Folsom Field.
Frontier Airlines Stadium at Folsom Field.
 
Just seems odd to me to have larger object listed as being "at" the smaller object
Maybe a little, I guess. It is done elsewhere though.

Oregon State's baseball stadium is named this way, Saskatchewan Roughrider's stadium is named this way, so is Prairie View A&M, Army's baseball stadium, etc.

Yeah, keep Folsom in the name, but it's time to start getting revenue for doing nothing. UW and Alaska Airlines have a 10 year, $41m deal. No, we wouldn't garner a deal of that size, but 10 year, $25m? 5 year, $15m? It's a free $2-$3m/year going to the AD.

How do you know this?! Pretty obscure sports fact.

Thinking outside the box a little (is that still a valid phrase?), how about seeing if Folsom State Prison out in California -- the one Johnny Cash used to sing about -- would be interested in buying the naming rights. Folsom State Prison Field would keep the "Folsom" name without adding a lot of extra of's in's or at's and everyone wins.
