The field is named.....

Brooks field.
That's what 13 million dollars buys. Not a fan.

The commitment of the money is awesome and appreciated, but I'd rather the field be named after someone who has contributed to the program on the field itself. (Say...oh, I dunno...someone like that Cutcliffe guy.)

The most recent brochure for the Iron Dukes provides information about naming rights for a variety of athletic facilities or parts of facilities. The chart in the brochure indicates that for the football field the gift required is $20 million. The Brooks family has already given funds which provided the practice facility. Other donors have already agreed to donate for naming rights the North Gate and the East Gate. The naming rights for the remaining West Gate is $4 million. The press level lobby of Blue Devil Tower is available for $1 million. Many naming possibilities remain at the Yoh.

All areas available for naming in Cameron are reserved. ;;)

The Brooks Field at Wallace Wade Stadium looks great! It is so wet from 10 days of rain, though!
