Naming rights for CSU's new stadium - ideas?
- Thread starter sackman
- Start date

beware the habu
Is that feasible? Better call ICON.
Boise is not bigger than Fort Collins. LMFAO. Either way, those schools wouldn't be here now with the defeatist attitude all of you are portraying.
Luckily we have Jack Graham and Tony Frank and not you guys
Nope
Exactly what I was thinking.
I think CSU has developed some sort of belief that they're better than the North Texas' and the San Jose States and the Utah States. Newsflash, you aren't.
only by 60,000 people. DERP
with a new stadium? I thought they were guaranteed a huge incrase? Do you see how you are contradicting yourself here? derp?
Is the stadium going to be built on CSU property or not?
lawyering all over the place ITT
you are reading it wrong it is $17,000 dollars in average attendance. wait what does this mean?
Another reason why nobody is going to be stupid enough to pay big money for rights in Ft. Collins. If a new stadium in the hotbed of college football interest with a much larger population base to draw from doesn't bring in the fans a new stadium in a place with a much smaller very dissinterested population base is net exactly a good bet for where to put millions of your advertising dollars.
The whole argument for the stadium is that it will increase interest and attendance, now you go and shoot down your own argument with the one number you have given which is actually a fact.
:lol:
How is that contradicting myself? North Texas probably saw an increase in attendance. Idk what their attendance was beforehand.
Also CSU already averages more. Attendance will increase. I don't know how much. But it will increase.
And the whole argument for the stadium is that CSU deserves better
Holy cow! This is a good post.
It will increase exactly 22 percent. 95-100 percent sure of it.

Boise has 205,671 in city/ 615,500 meto area

Ft Collins 143,986
WRONG AGAIN !!
In one sentence, you just realized what everyone has been trying to tell you all along.
I honestly do not care either way if the stadium gets built. That is for you guys to decide. I think we are laughing because Jack Graham is the televangelist that seems to have the CSU fanbase in a trance.
Answer my question about sponsorships. What are you going to raffle off? The Field, the Stadium - what else is going to constitute the $10MM you claim will be coming? Are you just talking about straight advertising?
I would like to compare that against what Boulder gets to see if we're dealing with apples to apples

AND Minnesota has served Beer in their new stadium iirc.
no. but there is a beer garden this year.
I expect a bump in attendance this year.

North Texas:
The stadium hosted its first game on September 10, 2011, when the Mean Green lost 48 to 23 against the University of Houston Cougars. A massive effort by the university and the athletic department to sell out the first home game at the new stadium did not succeed, as the game attracted 28,075 spectators.[SUP][22][/SUP] By the third home game, against the Florida Atlantic Owls football team, attendance had dropped to a season-low 13,142 spectators.[SUP][23][/SUP] Home attendance for the stadium's first season averaged 18,864 per game, or 61.15% of the facility's capacity of 30,850.[2
So much for build it and they will attend. I wonder if this was the 1% to 5% that ICON got wrong.
Regarding the $20MM in Naming Rights sometimes $20MM isn't really $20MM.
According to the contract, the company will pay $11.8 million of the $20 million deal in cash over 20 years, including graduated annual payments beginning at $312,000 and ending in three annual payments of $1 million. The remaining $8.29 million will be in the form of in-kind services. As part of the contract, Apogee also received one luxury suite in the new stadium and premium tickets to other UNT events

Don't bother him with facts. If it didn't come from ICON or the mouth of Jack the Magician then it doesn't matter.

Don't stop him, he's on a roll.
And yet Minnesota is raking in the dough from having that stadium on campus.
The stadium isn't just about attendance.
It's about giving CSU what it deserves
A **** load of debt it can't pay off? Sounds good to me.
changing the purposes and goals of something in the middle of an argument is the sure sign of a loser.
