They actually get to eat their cake and get $41 million on top of it -- the new name is "Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium."

MSU needs to make a deal like that. :wink:

But not on micro brews if the local breweries want to change their hours of operation.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

I think Rick is sarcastically referring to the fiascos MSU has had using Allegiant. Speaking of which, Allegiant recently had an engine catch fire departing the Las Vegas airport. It returned and landed safely.

Pretty good place to put your name. Great stadium. PAC 12 isn't known for great stadiums, but UW's could fit right in with the SEC.

Agreed. I went to a game there last season and the renovations made to that stadium are pretty amazing to say the least.

Nah, Allegiant already has naming partnerships with the UC Davis business school or something....their Ceo or founder is an alum. They named some building or research center or something on campus after him.

We need to cut a deal with the Bobcat Co.(maker of the skid steer) and then we could rename Bobcat Stadium Bobcat Stadium. We could use the money to finish the stadium and maybe buy an old used big screen from Times Square. We'd be well on our way then.

Or you could get the wealthy residents of the Yellowstone Club to come in as a collective and have the field be:
