I think a lot of our sports are on the upswing, plus the AAC isn't a bad home for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFE is all about UCF, they're joined at the hip. We need Suncoast Credit Union to be our CFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low hanging fruit. 3 hours ago, Ned A Starr said: That's incorrect. It is correct ... In November 2011, CFE Federal Credit Union merged with UCF Federal Credit Union bringing together two credit unions who share a heritage of service to education in Central Florida. By Jacob Sadowsky on September 9, 2013 at 11:25 pm CFE Federal Credit Union acquired the naming rights in May, giving UCF $3.95 million over seven years as part of the agreement for the Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the Ice Palace name stop Tampa Bay Times renaming it the TBT Forum, or Amalie Oil from renaming it Amalie Arena? I have some beach front property in Arizona you may be interested in. He didn't say he believed it. He specifically said "not sure how accurate" .... and I'm not sure how accurate either but it's not that unbelievable considering it's been the SunDome for almost four decades .... which is why trying to compare it to an arena that's changed its' name 4 times in 2 decades is, not unexpectedly, totally ludicrous.

That's UCFFCU for short. CFE is Central Florida Educators. I think they had one ATM on campus before they increased their presence at the same time as the naming rights thing. They may not have even had that. They increased their presence two years BEFORE the naming rights. However one wants to spin this, it was low hanging fruit .... butts and all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plethora of corporations surrounding the University. We may not have a T. Boone Pickens, but we have billions being generated here in the bay area. It would be nice if they jumped on the bus. How's that corporate sponsorship working out for the Rays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knock on Tampa has been the absence of corporate headquarters down this way, as opposed to having the back-office or branch operations. I think it's a little different to sell naming rights to only one (Raymond James Stadium) of thirty-two NFL venues than it is to sell the naming rights for something that is very, very local... like the Sun Dome.

That way, we would not have to bore everyone with facts and such. Additionaly, Trip would not have to waste time multi-quoting and perhaps it would ease the troll-ish arguments. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
