I thought it just would have been renamed the Tad Pad. Oh well.

Any idea if in the renovation they plan to make the football stadium look the same on the exterior. I think it would be pretty stupid to bowl the stadium in with there looking like 4 different designs.

This is what I'm ready to see.

I like the name but we all know it will forever be THTMB or "The House That Marshall Built"

Ole Miss will continue to aggressively pursue adding a name in front of the word “Pavilion,” whether it’s an individual donor or a corporate sponsor, to work toward bridging the $37.5 million gap.

Who do y'all think will sponsor it?

Abners

I've been pushing this since the thing was announced.

Abners? Is that sarcasm? No way they have near enough money to put their name on a Basketball Arena, and why in the hell would we want the name of a chicken tender place on it? Their specialty is an item of the childrens menu....


I think a great corporate sponsor would be FNC. Decent size reputable corporation, started in Oxford by UM professors, corporate HQ is still in Oxford.

And I'm sure they could write a much bigger check than abners ever could.

In all serious I know Community Trust Bank is interested.

I'd say the two front runners are FNC and FedEx. I'd love for FedEx to do it because "FedEx Pavilion" sounds pretty good.

I would like Nissan or Toyota to do it. I don't think they will but I like the sound of both and they have been really good for Mississippi. If not them then either community trust or some other entity based in the landmass. As long as the name isn't goofy as frick.

Renasant Bank is from Tupelo, right? I'd like a local business to sponsor. Maybe Renasant or FNC.

I'm sure it will be a corporate sponsor but I always think this kinda stuff sounds better with someone's name attached to it (i.e. most of the other buildings and sports facilities on campus)

Be sweet if the Mannings would throw some change at it. The Manning Pavillion sounds nice even if it's the wrong sport.

That would sound pretty nice. There's bound to be somebody with plenty of pocket change to attach their name to the new arena.

Bjork said he wants to make the facade look like things that have been doing to the stadium in the past decade aka the SEZ

I'm hoping Landshark Beer buys the naming rights so that it can be the "Landshark Pavilion at Ole Miss."
