Special Announcement?

[CascadeClone]

Is it just me or does $15 mil over 10 years seem really low? I mean thats pennies to a major university over 10 years right?

I am sure they shopped it around to Alliant, Sukup, Monsanto, Pioneer, etc etc and MidAmerican had the best overall offer.

I made the mistake of reading the moronic comments on the facebook announcement. My faith in humanity dwindles everyday because there are a lot of morons out there.

This describes Facebook in general. Every time I look at it I lose more respect for at least one of my friends.

Aha! The MidAmerican logo... the reason for black as a new uniform color!

Page 255 of the Berkshire Energy 10K reports Mid American Energy had $2.837 billion in revenue for FY 2017. $1.5 million annually is not even a drop in the bucket for them. I would hope that with success on the field there are escalators in-place.

The people commenting without even reading the articles. SMH

In other sponsorship news today, Pollard announced:

• all urinals in JTS are now presented to you by Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
• all toilets are now the Jack Link's Hot & Spicy Beef Sticks Thrones
• the long-awaited return of the Jack Trice SEZ Hot Tub which will stage the "Bruns & @brentblum Postgame Special sponsored by Dangerous Curves" after every home game

This doesn't bode well for Johnny Orr Floor @ Hilton.

So we are going to be able to go up escalators after coming in the gates?

Who gets the naming rights for the goalposts? Dupont?

Dupont is no longer an stand alone.

Kinda funny since Ames is tied to Alliant. Iowa State and energy kind of go hand in hand so I kinda like it from a sponsor standpoint. This was inevitable after all.

We're also known for our part in building nuclear weapons

The Lockheed Martin Skunk Works Tailgate Fun Zone

It's 15 million dollars over 10 years. I will let you name my children for 15 million dollars.

At the christening: "She shalI hereby be known as: Herky Tavernhok Ry4Cy."

As a comparison Minnesota is getting $1.4m/yr ($35m over 25 years) to be TCF Bank Stadium and Houston is getting $1.5m/yr ($15m over 10 years) to be Texas Dow Employees Credit Union Stadium.

Thanks for the information, and i’d have to think that naming rights for the field is worth quite a bit less than the rights to the stadium

 

[SNEDDS3]

Did we get a Bugle sponsorship yet?

Also, would not step foot i the hot tub for post game. After a full game of drunks sitting in there, uh no thanks.

Shows how much I know I guess lol. I just figured it would be higher but once again I was wrong.

No, but Apple has backed us and will now sponsor us because of:

They can play "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band during the flyover.

Dupont/Pioneer is now Corteva and Monsanto will be become Bayer in the next week or so. BASF finalized the buyout of certain Bayer businesses a couple of days ago. Since that was done, Bayer can officially now change the name from Monsanto to Bayer.
