Thank god they weren't stupid enough to change the name... I woulda rioted

Edit: I do still hate seeing "pilot" everywhere, but even as kid I remember seeing corporate signage in Neyland and pilot is the Haslams...

I bet that one Bama fan in the video is disappointed it won’t be named “Garbage Truck Worker Convention Stadium.”

I can understand wanting to make some extra cash to keep up in the collegiate athletics arms race. If I hadn’t gone to a small D3 school with no football team, I would probably be much more emotionally attached to stadium names.
