I know its the Fourth of July, and generally I dont do stuff like this, but this popped into my head. It looks like we wont be receiving a naming rights sponsor anytime in the near future, so instead of calling it FAU Stadium, I was thinking maybe the adminstration and the athletics department can hark back to the day when FAU was a Army Airfield during World War 2 until we can get a naming rights sponsor. We can call it Boca Raton Army Airfield Stadium at Howard Schnellenberger Field. Just my thoughts.Posted On: Jul 4th 2019, 1:36 PM #387122

Just to play devil's advocate. There is no point in creating a temporary name while no one is paying.
You call it Army Airfield for a few years then so and so comes along and offers naming rights now you gotta change the name and possibly upset some people.
I saw a study that shows that 75 percent of naming right's of campus stadiums were named by a company where the founder or CEO went to the university or the corporation was within 100 miles of the school.
If someone wants to call it Army Air Feild stadium they will have to pay for it.

If WE had not WAY overpriced the naming rights we could have taken in say $200K a year and have brought in what, going on $2M by now as opposed to ZERO!!!

Targets locally need to be cash rich or high growth organizations that might benefit from the write off… Ultimate Software, Chewy come to mind.
Shane is right though, there typically has to be some sort of emotional connection to the sponsorship because its virtually impossible to quantify the value of the naming.
GA Telesis could be one…Abdol is one of the best friends of the program, his company is growing and doing well. There's no value in him "advertising" to the general public but his love for the university could tip it.
