Guys it's going to be called Yellowstone-Dutton Bobcat Stadium. John Dutton is the donor.
Finally a donor I too would be against taking money from! Can't stand that show.

There used to be a professional sports venue named the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. They let the naming rights go to another entity. I am not aware of another stadium currently carrying the Home Depot name. I would be comfortable with a Home Depot Stadium in Bozeman.

Home Depot sucks in my world…not a fan of them or Lowe’s. Last resort for me
If Home Depot offered you a home rebuild at no cost would you accept it? I certainly would.

Arthur Blank retired from Home Depot over 20 years ago so even if he donates a bunch of money that won't be what they name the stadium.

Guy on the plane behind me was saying that because of the summer Olympics, Bobcat Stadium is getting major renovations for the flag football event. $130 million dollars, seating up to 35K fans, heated toilet seats, alcohol sales in the stadium. Will also be hosting 25 major concerts a year…. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I believe you had to hear wrong on the number, pretty sure it's going to be 41k.
Then I guess we settle for heated toilet seats. Haha!!


Punters are people too!!

I would be thrilled if they just turned the water fountains back on. They didn't even have the water station under the student section out for the USD game.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

The band just got a 200k donation to send them to Frisco.

I guess I should have added more 0000’s to my $200 donation :roll:
It would have a nice ring.. Hearing Keaton say: Hello and welcome to BFcatfan Stadium, home for your Montana State BOBCATS.

Perhaps this has nothing to do with athletics and is actually going to bring down the cost of tuition.

If Home Depot offered you a home rebuild at no cost would you accept it? I certainly would.

Obviously, but I’m a guy who likes to support local mom and pop stores and businesses. I own a business and understand this concept very well. Their help is very poorly trained in my opinion, but underpaid also. So you get what you pay for. Simple concept.

Simple concept within a vicious cycle. Hinsdale used to have a hardware store, three bars, grocery store, hotel, general store, plumbing business, two cafes, post office and bank all on Main Street which is only two blocks long. Now

Now just a bank, post office and a bar/restaurant.

If Kenyon Noble wanted the naming rights of the stadium is would be thrilled for it to be called that. The reality is that we're a program big enough that Kenyon doesn't have the capital for naming rights. But I could get behind(for this example) Arthur Blank Stadium, if say that is who the donor was.

I was hoping Waded would announce last night at the star but I guess we’ll have to wait…

Is this just going end up as being a rumor?

Bobcat athletics is a business to the coaches, school leadership, and players. It's time the fans treat Bobcat athletics as a business too.

Was it conditional on winning the NC?

IF it exists, I can’t imagine it being contingent on winning the whole thing. That’d be quite the carrot to dangle out there and then pull back if a team falls just short.

The prospect of a big gift is exciting, but I’m not giving it too much thought, I’ll believe it when I see it. Sure would be a nice boost to the fanbase morale after these last two days though…

I was really hoping that if this was legit that they would make some sort of NIL deal or put some towards NIL. Unfortunately that can’t be the case considering so many guys are leaving. I guess maybe the players wouldn’t know though. I still believe this is happening though, Colter seemed to give it a good hint and other people seem to be mentioning other things.
