Getting excited about watching some Allen Eagle football this fall. The new stadium is really coming along. Every day my son and I drive by it so this week we started this discussion - what is going to be the name of this stadium ?? We used to have the Double Wide for the old stadium but I don't think I have heard of names for this new location.
We started kicking around "The Nest", "The Rock", etc. What should this place be called ?? We need a fear instilling name for this place so that other teams will know they have to play at _________ - Home of the Allen Eagles.
Also, now that we will have a video board, I wonder if the pre-game entrance procedure will change a bit. Some colleges have some very cool entrances (i.e. Virginia Tech).
And before the opposers to the stadium start jumping on this thread and suggesting "The Money Pit" or "The Big Waste", or "My Tax Dollars Not At Work", we get it - you didn't want the thing.
Just thought we could start some conversation around this very important topic ...

During the discussion regarding the naming of the thing was the most animated I have ever seen the super. He put three whole sentences together.

If everything works out as hoped, it will probably end up being something like "AT&T Field at CoServ Stadium sponsored by a partnership between Texas Instruments, BCBS of Texas, and Raytheon for the Allen Eagles".

Ha! No doubt that the Eagles competitors will end up calling it that.

How about...The Sink Hole, The Money Pit, Bottoms Up, The Glass is Half Full But My Pockets Are Half Empty.
I am still trying to figure out how that thing is going to make money for the school system and the city.
Maybe we can get Jimmy Buffett to come play here next year and recover some of our expenses.

Why can't some people on the losing side of a vote accept defeat in a mature and adult way? OP asked for legitimate names for the stadium, but no, the losing side can't let this go. The people have spoken. The citizens voted to finance the stadium. The losers need to let it go. What a poor example you complainers set. It's time to lose with dignity.
