You're so right, we should be wasting our time posting about z x y / bq formations and nashing our teeth on who starts at QB or the construction of the stadium or who our coach is...
You know all the other things our posts have squat influence over.
What are they marketing here. Who isn't going to come and use this State of the Art Stadium because of its name. It is not like they nameded it a Pink Taco or something.

Yeah, anything less than 5 was going to not be worth it IMO. But, 7.7 mil per year puts them towards the top of the league in this type of deal. I don't blame them for taking it.
Also, maybe they won't just gouge the hell out of us on ticket price increases for next year. (Yeah, I know, I know.........)

This would place them 3rd in overall value of the deal and second to Houston in dollars per year!
No kidding - UofP must've really wanted the name on the Stadium!

slippery when wet
the video prior to the game start hits us with "Protect the Nest"... I think "the Nest" is their suggestion.I just say we call it "The Bird Cage" Cardinals.. Phoenix... it works
I do really like "the Frat House" to pick up the UoP theme

Shaquille O'neal graduated from LSU in 2000, but earned an online MBA through the University of Phoenix in 2005...
A good friend of mine was his financial adviser. The Lakers paid cash up front for his entire degree before he even took a class. I believe that he really did do the work, but it was just really strange to have the entire courseload paid in full from the start.

Oh man, the irony of the word "university" being attached to the stadium for the next 20 years is just incredible. You gotta love this team. This has been a classic Cardinals week for sure.

I personally like it. At least it gives the appearance of being a name that would by inference make someone believe it's related to Arizona football. It's not a bank or an oil company or some other company name that is not even remotely related to Arizona.

You forgot to mention already having a QB controversy in week 3 when your starter is a former league MVP. And it's only Tuesday for heavens sake.

And at the University of Phoenix Stadium today, the Cardinals fielded a team composed entirely of red-shirted players.

things must have changed.
Back in '01 i took a 3 credit hr Purchasing Management course at U of P 40th st and I-10.
I had to go to class 2 nights a week.
Our instructor was a retired Honeywell Purchasing manager.
There was an online LIBRARY.
I had to do papers and physically turn them them in.
I had to speak in front of a classroom of actual people in a physical location.
I learned a lot about purchasing in a government and big corporate environment.

Good point. Man, that is a lot of money. I say, "Good job, Cardinals!"

"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."
Finally, we have an owner with some vision. I hope the next 20 years go fast so that we can be competitive, because that's how long it will take, the way we're going.

I took a class for my MCP at University of Phoenix back in 2001 as well. I had no problems there and thought it was a great experience.
Seriously, I don't mind the stadium name.

Not me, considering recent history it seems rather emberassing. There had to be another option right?
