"University of Phoenix Stadium"

[Reddog]

They were probably holding out for an A name to overpay based on success but after Sundays game probably decided they better take UOP before they pulled their offer and Fred's Drycleaners would be the only candidate left.

 

[bratwurst]

Well they started this week out strong on sunday, and the hits keep on coming!

I've always said that a "University" is not a University unless it has a football team. Does this move make the UoP a real University or will it have to wait until the team have a winning season?

UoP tag line:
"If you've got the money, you'll get the paper"


I went to a REAL University with a REAL football team. (ASU) Well, they had one at the time anyway.

Pretty lame Milhouse. I miss the Pink Taco Stadium already.





Post #1000!



Sorry, carry on.

Boy, that makes a LONG list of universities that aren't "real" universities...I'm sure the Red Storm of St. John's University would have an issue with that...

 

[Derm]

"Mill House"? that could work

 

[Azlen]

Great a stadium named after an annoying pop-up ad. Unfortunately, I think this goes to show how little demand there were for naming rights. I have a hard time believing that this was their first choice.

 

[Derm]

What nickname works for the stadium?
"I'll meet you at...."

a. The Pink Taco
b. The Pink or The Taco
c. Tillman
d. The Mill (House)
e. The House that Q built
f. The U
g. The P
h. The Big Tin Shed
i. ??

So basically, we have a second rate football team playing in a stadium named after a second rate university?

Oh, this is so bad.

even the name "University" is questionable.

Bidwill said the Cardinals would use the money from the University of Phoenix deal, to be paid annually over the 20 years, to field a competitive team.

"That's what we're about is building a championship team," he said. "This revenue is a big piece of allowing the team to go out into free agency and to move forward."


So I guess there will be no more excuses then? Time to open the checkbook.

there are far too many jokes that can be made about this team now.

Now? This team has been a joke for as long as I have been alive.

I wonder if the University of Phoenix Cardinals will crack the top 25 in next weeks BCS standings?

Can we build a frat house on Maryland?

The big "tin shed" works for me.

classic

[outoftheashes]

we could call it "The Phoenix"...thats not so bad...

 

[clif]

I must admit... I really have to question management's level of intelligence over this move. I could always (mostly) see the other side of the coin on previous issues, but this one just makes me want to puke.

What are you all talking about? With Insight having the stadium wired for internet access, fans can get their diploma on-line while suffering through another 4th Quarter meltdown.

Stupid name, but who cares.... I just hope they get $3M a year or better. Perhaps they could spend that money on an OL.

 

[conraddobler]

WTF?

OMG!

This is a nightmare, ESPN live from University of Phoenix Stadium ...... UGHHHHH.

Ok now if they are 10 million a year under the cap and they play in a stadium named Univesity of Phoenix Stadium I'm hacked off.
