I hope Clemson never gets so money hungry that they do what


May 4, 2017, 11:59 AM

Kentucky did earlier this week. I'm sure you all heard that for $1.8 per year they agreed to change the name of Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field. No, they are not keeping Commonwealth Stadium and using it along with Kroger Field. The whole stadium is going to be referred to as Kroger Field. I would not like this at all if I was a Kentucky fan. I always thought Commonwealth Stadium was a good name.

It needs to stay Memorial Stadium and Death Valley. No sponsor needed.

It is actually Memorial Stadium and Frank Howard field. Two totally different things.

I hope it stays that way too. Unfortunately college football has already become much to corporate. It's also becoming a Rich man's sport as well. My cousin, his wife and son spent $7000 to attend the NC game. When I went to the 81 NC game I was lucky to have a friend whose mother was a Travel Agent. I was able to fly to the game for free and stay at the Foutain Blu Hilton on South Beach at no cost. I spent over a 3 day period about $100. If I had driven down with the rest of my family and stayed with them I still may have spent at max $200. I had seats on the 35 yard line on the lower deck about 20 rows up. I know that was a long time ago but I am not sure I could have gone toTampa under similar circumstances for less than $2000.

I love Clemson football and use to attend most of the home games and some away games. To do that now it would cost approximately $2000 to $3000 unless you have some great contacts.

In the future it may be necessary for Clemson to sale naming rights if other schools follow Kentucky's path.

I read where this coming season Saban will earn approximately $11.2 million dollars. Last year Bama's AD generated $146 million dollars. I think that was about $40 to $50 million dollars more than Clemson and we are the 2016 NC's. Saban's salary next year is worth about 2 1/2 to 3 HC's in one of the Power 5 Conferences.

Kind of makes you shake your head and wonder where all those Bama people get their money. With the decline of ESPN, who will take their place with all of that TV money. If I am not mistaken we lost $1 million dollars last year even after playing in the NC game.

I would love some honest sincere feedback from others as to what they see for the future of CF and how teams will fund their programs.

Sounds like that's the norm in KY


May 4, 2017, 12:03 PM

It's always a money game. Other teams have just figured out how to get fans to buy the tickets they need for funding. ;)

May 4, 2017, 12:07 PM

so I doubt that Clemson would ever consider a corporate name that. I could see a section being named for a corporate donor.

But lets be honest Commonwealth Stadium in Kentucky is like being called State Stadium anywhere else. The stadium is only about 40 years old and more of an erector set than South Carolina's. The only good thing about Commonwealth Stadium was all the girls in riding boots after being at Keeneland all day.

Beautiful Tiger Field. At least Mr. Kingsmore is a person rather than a corporation and he did play baseball here.

Yes, I think it's perfectly fine if its a person's name.

In fact, in most cases it is.

I remember an old Larry the Cable Guy standup routine talking about NASCAR getting rid of the Winston sponsorship.

"Who they gonna get as a sponsor...StayFree MiniPads?"

"Well, we got 43 cars in the Kotex Cup this year... here comes Jeff Gordon in the #24 strawberry ##### Monte Carlo..."

"Hey, how did y'all get tickets to the Tampon 200? Well, we pulled some strings..."
