I'm with this. Dudy Noble Field has way too much history and name recognition. But I'm sure half our own fan base couldn't tell you the name of our stadium.

I'm one who doesn't ever care about the number of sponsors or the amount of ads you can see, within reason. I hated when baseball tried to add them to the bases, and I don't really want them on jerseys, but on walls inside and outside the stadium? Sure. Naming the park after a sponsor? Go for it, if it helps.
I'm a Braves fan and wish we would rename Turner Field 'Coca-Cola Google McDonald's Field at AT&T Comcast Verizon Park, presented by Pepsi and Home Depot, with help from Toyota and Citibank' if it meant increasing the budget even a half million dollars.
What I find hilarious is the number of people here that think they really know what's going on inside the AD. This thing isn't happening any time soon. The crowds back at DNF this year bear out the fact that we aren't in a desperate situation. It's not top priority, and doesn't need to be. Relocation is not an option, neither is getting rid of the name Dudy Noble Field.
I have also learned the majority of message board posters (on all boards) do not go to games at all. It's easy to spot those posters who watch Live Stats and have ridiculous opinions.
If they spew out uneducated opinions, yes. Everyone could learn a little bit from that.
On the condescending part, I'll save the empathetic listening for others. Hard to understand some of our fans' points of views when they are rooted in shit so far from reality, even Obama would be ashamed.
Nothing that you said in this entire post is anywhere close to legit. Nothing at all. Let me pick that post apart one by one.
"What I find hilarious is the number of people here that think they really know what's going on inside the AD. This thing isn't happening any time soon."
You find it hilarious that posters (which you are as well) claim to have inside information? And then you follow that up with your very own "insider information" that its not happening soon? That's novel of you
"The crowds back at DNF this year bear out the fact that we aren't in a desperate situation."
What does this even mean? Nobody claimed we are in a "desperate" situation, and if we were the crowds would still come out because we are a knowledgeable college baseball fan-base and we love our baseball. It's already been decided that we have the 5th best park in the SEC west. Far from desperate, but a baseball program like ours can do much better.
"It's not top priority, and doesn't need to be."
Even though Scott has stated numerous times that it is top priority. And if it doesn't need to be then what's more important once we finish the football upgrades? I'll wait.....
"Relocation is not an option, neither is getting rid of the name Dudy Noble Field."
O really? Considering we own more land than just about every land grant institution in the nation? Have you seen all the space we have on our campus? We have plenty of options. Even though I'm not completely set on moving at least we have options. You also have no idea how much power sponsorship will have on changing the name.
All in all, you just sound like a big dumbass.
What I find funny is that you have no idea what you are talking about- yet still post. We've got multiplepeople that are actually involved with the project that post here in stadium threads. I met one of the actual architects at the Liberty Bowl. This thing is moving forward
I say you don't know what you're talking about, you say I don't know what I'm talking about, the circle goes on. But most of the things I say happen. What happens with yours? Oh yeah, Rick Ray.
It's pretty clear the poster who doesn't know what they are talking about. And I can guarantee that poster is NOT a former condom slinger.
Yet it's likely to be unveiled in the coming months per Scott Stricklin's weekly chat session earlier this week which can easily be read right on the front page of this very board...
I love when people condemn others for talking out their ass, while talking out of their own ass**
