UT sells naming rights to Disch-Falk Field

05:43 PM CDT on Wednesday, October 12, 2005


By CHIP BROWN / The Dallas Morning News



AUSTIN – Texas has sold the naming rights to its baseball stadium – Disch-Falk Field – for $13.1 million to University Federal Credit Union for the next 15 years, officials announced Wednesday.

The money will help pay for a complete renovation of the 30-year-old stadium that will begin after this season with scheduled completion by the 2008 season.

Starting Aug. 1, 2006, the new name of the stadium will be "UFCU Disch-Falk Field." UT officials plan to add 1,400 seats, including club seating and possibly suites; retool the stadium structure and upgrade everything from concession stands to locker rooms.

The renovation of UFCU Disch-Falk Field is part of a three-pronged fund-raising, renovation project that includes adding 10,000 seats, including suites, to the north end zone of Royal-Memorial Stadium and constructing a new outdoor swimming and diving facility. No timetable has been set for those projects.

Apparently 2 million has been raised for the 8 million Moody facility...what is 6 million to Lamar Hunt?

6 million to Lamar Hunt is 2 million a year for three years to buy the best coach money can buy!

How about he kicks in 4 million for Moody and 2 million for Bob Huggins.
Dr. Pepper can pay the difference in naming rights.

I'd be pissed if I were a shareholder in that Credit Union.

What a waste of Marketing $$$.

Everybody in Austin already has an old college account there.
