Wishful thinking....On campus stadium name proposal.

[Raoul Duke]

So the feelings have been mixed as to whether or not a stadium on USF's campus would be allowed to be named after a man who tried to build a stadium there when Leavitt was just a kid.  Something I recently became aware of: August Busch...Allen nixed that idea then. I personally think with todays social climate this might fly. I realize there is alot more to it than this, but I started wondering who else might want to claim naming rights to or sponsor a new stadium. So I started this to hear what everyone else thinks. Be it off the wall or realistic I'd like to know. Thanks.

Outback Steakhouse Stadium?  Tampa based company (OSI), name already affiliated with football and sports (Outback Bowl, Outback Pro-Am)

                                                                  GOLDEN CORRAL STADIUM

                                                              Home of the USF Golden Brahmas

We could have an O.K. Corral and aTombstone site were head stones of all who have perished by the Bulls are buried.

Whenever it is built and whatever it is called, I'd like to see it as follows:

Jim Leavitt Field at (insert corporate name here) Stadium

Outback is a good idea for the company, others to consider might be:

- Regions Bank, SunTrust, or some other mid level, local bank.

- TECO Energy (local)

- Tech Data (local)

- Checkers (the restaurant, local company)

yeah i like the Leavitt Field name idea for the field... would leave out the Jim tho.  just doesn't sound as official as simply "Leavitt Field"

Mons Venus Stadium.

1-800-Ask Gary Stadium.

(Insert any other totally absurd name for a stadium that is somehow related to Tampa here)

In all seriousness, even the legitimate "kosher" Tampa-based companies and individuals I could think of just sound ridiculous as stadium names.

Hooters Stadium?

;D

Outback Stadiium sounds great to me, they now are private so they can and do have the money to get the ball rolling.  One of the founds is on the board of trustees for USF so that also helps.  Plus, when you think of Outback you do think of farms and cattle.

Thats fine and dandy, but is that the message we want to convey. In case you forgot our mascot is a Bull and Outback Steak house cooks and serves them.

A bit of a conflict of interest ;D

I think Bank of America Stadium is the best idea because they would donate the most money and they would love to be associated with a growing brand.
