I'll try to get to campus next weekend to snap some pics of the stadium and the nearby Pharmed Arena. bd2412 T 22:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are taking pictures this weekend you may want to take a picture of the baseball stadium as well. I´ve created a page for it and it needs a picture. Thanks! (Evill72 02:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

FIU has a baseball stadium? bd2412 T 04:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, its located on the west end of campus near the football stadium. Its across the street from the Campus Support Complex and right next to the soccer field. If you enter by the 117th Avenue entrance and drive straight through as if you were heading to the football field, you would see it to your left. (Evill72 05:03, 5 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I'll look for that as well. bd2412 T 05:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stadium on Campus?

[edit]

When did FIU purchase the stadium property? I know that the property the stadium is on was originally owned by Miami-Dade County Parks and according to the county website, it is still county property. Did the county sell it to FIU? If not, then FIU does not play on campus. Just being close to the stadium doesn't make it on campus. For example, USC plays in the Coliseum at Exposition Park across the street from their campus, but they can't say that they play on campus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.247.22.199 (talk) 18:59, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FIU purchased it the same time it purchased the land where the Wertheim Performing Arts Center is, it's FIU property and the FIU Stadium is on campus. In fact, FIU has plans of purchasing the land between the two to build more dorms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Comayagua99 (talk • contribs) 02:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FIU Stadium → Pitbull Stadium – Pitbull acquired the naming rights in August. This is now the WP:COMMONNAME, per reliable sources [1][2][3] 162 etc. (talk) 03:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My two cents on the RM discussion

[edit]

1) This is about an American Football stadium, so RMs about soccer (football) stadiums aren't relevant in my opinion. They have a completely different culture regarding sponsorships and naming.

2) Articles with non-sponsored common names do get renamed to sponsored names, see Louisiana Superdome to Caesars Superdome, Broncos Stadium at Mile High to Empower Field at Mile High, or Ralph Wilson Stadium to Highmark Stadium. Granted, those are all NFL stadiums but the same principle should able to college stadiums.

3) WP:NOTADVERT doesn't apply at all. I fail to see how using the common name of a stadium is not "objective and unbiased style, free of puffery", especially when that common name is "verifiable with independent, third-party sources".

If the university is calling the stadium something, and the media is calling the stadium the same thing, the title of the article should reflect that.

Just my two cents. Esb5415 (talk) (C) 02:07, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right as I hit send I find college examples Cardinal Stadium to L&N Federal Credit Union Stadium, Jones AT&T Stadium has been renamed with a sponsor, SHI Stadium, etc. Esb5415 (talk) (C) 02:12, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
