Apogee naming rights?

[Jonnyeagle]

Any word on whether or not Apogee is still paying for the right for their name to be on our stadium?  Are the naming rights up for grabs?  Is Apogee even still in business?  Seems like a solid NIL play could be made for this as well.

As in, someone fork over the money to rename it "Arch Manning Stadium"?

I believe it was a 20 yr, $1M/yr contract

20 years and Apogee is still very much alive.

I know we needed the $$, but I never liked naming it after a corporation.   

But if Seth fails as expected this season it may be renamed Apathy Stadium.

I mean Seth Littrell Stadium at the Darrell Dickey Practice Fields would have a nice ring to it.

With all of the remodeling are the DD practice fields still there?

Yes they are. I asked Wren at the Pre-Season event last year and he said Dickeys name was still on the fields neighboring the indoor.

Has anyone called it "The App" this hit me just now thinking who McConaughey was "proposing" calling the New Moody Center in Austin, "The Mood". I'm sure these talking points have been made.

My sources indicate that the deal is no longer 20 years.  They may be able to negotiate these now.

I would think they are looking for corporate sponsors on the new athletic center.

They can't miss.  We use their services and deduct the stadium payment from what we owe them.
