"United Airlines Field at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum"
by G.K.Chesterton (2019-06-07 16:51:49)

That's where we will be playing on November 28, 2020.

The Trojans originally inked a deal with the airline for naming rights back in early 2018 for a record $69 million over 15 years. However, local uproar over the proposed name for the historic landmark — at one time set to change to the ‘United Airlines Memorial Coliseum’ — caused both school and airline to back to the drawing board.

The result of those discussions is the lengthy name above, which allows United to get its sponsorship, USC to get its money and both to continue to respect for the stadium original purpose of being a tribute to soldiers who fought and died in World War I.

Sadly I knew GK more as a rock's house handle than a writer! Gave me a good excuse to read more about him.

Are they the first big name college to whore out the name of their stadium to sponsors?


Most college stadiums, whether private colleges

or public colleges, were financed with tax-exempt bonds, and the tax rules make the sale of naming rights somewhat difficult if not prohibited. So it’s pretty unusual for college stadiums. But not impossible.


What if you name it after a benefactor who happens

to have their name on a business? For example, Charles Schwab gives $100 million to ND, and now you have Schwab field at Notre Dame Stadium.

quid pro quo between the gift and the naming. The gift has to be for general university purposes, endowment, financial aid, academic programs, maintenance etc., and not for the bond-financed facility. The university, in general, cannot be bound or required to name the stadium field after the donor (again, assuming the stadium was financed with tax-exempt bonds).
