Damn good deal for GT IMO. Get to keep the stadium name, and get 70 million over 20 years.

SEC teams get that amount in just one year.

Kidding aside, it is a good deal for GT, but I lament the change in the name. I'm a traditionalist.

You're going to see a lot more of this in the coming years. Ohio State has Safelite Field. UCF, Maryland, Syracuse, Louisville, Texas Tech all having naming rights to their football stadiums or fields. Basketball arenas have even more branding to them. Sounds like Grant Field will still be referenced across the stadium. Hyundai is spending a ton of money in the state. The massive EV plant they are building in Cartersville is something else.
