Soon to be named after a lawncare device, or maybe a juicer.
The scourge of corporate naming pollution that have given us things like the "TD Banknorth Garden" and "Enron Field" has mercifully passed college football by. A couple teams (Pitt and USF most prominently) play at corporately-named pro stadiums and Minnesota will name its new open-air on-campus stadium after a bank, but no team has just thrown up its hands and asked for money to rename an old, beautifully-named stadium.
Until now:
The University of Colorado is exploring selling stadium naming rights to Folsom Field under the condition that any potential buyer agree to include the current name in the future moniker, Chancellor G.P. "Bud" Peterson said.Colorado hopes to nail down 15 million dollars over 15 to 20 years for turning their stadium, named after legendary Colorado coach Frederick Folsom in 1944, into a monument to some corporation's stupidity. Sure, the'y keep "Folsom" as part of the name, but Denver-area fans are no doubt thinking of "StupidCorporation Field at Mile High" right now and gritting their teeth.
