Whatever happened to this? Stadium was still UofP yesterday.

Not that it matters, just felt like being distracted by something totally meaningless because all the news today is horrible.

UOP still has the naming rights for now, they just are just trying to cut the arrangement short. From the original article: "The University of Phoenix will keep its name on the stadium until a new sponsor is found, a team executive said."

16,000 students on campus at an accredited university would disagree with your opinion of "real". As would the high number of teachers, nurses, counselors, etc rusty completed studies there

I still think Tampax Stadium works. That name would fit right in with 'Big Red Rage', 'Sea of Red and the 'Red Zone Club'.

It will go to the highest bidder, as always. Look at the Phoenix Open, the most attended golf tournament in the world, and "Waste Management" won the bid. Sucks

Lisonopril Stadium. That's the blood pressure medication I take, and my bp seems to go up every time I watch the Cardinals play. Or maybe Jameson Stadium, drink enough of its after watching a Cards game and you may forget what you saw.

The best name of all time IMHO was back when the Lakers sold the naming rights to The Forum to Great Western Savings & Loan. I think it might have even been the very first naming rights sale. The Forum became the "Great Western Forum". Doesn't sound silly, almost doesn't even sound like a sponsor name.

To the guy claiming GCU isn't a "real" university - wth are you smoking man??

I still think Waste did that primarily to stick it to Republic Services (based in Scottsdale)
