State Farm and their free cash flow may be otherwise occupied in the near future. Got personal experience with this one - me and three neighbors all had hail damage from a storm last year. I and two others without SF were fully covered, I got a new roof and full all-around siding for nothing. The one neighbor with SF got fully denied and not a penny. My roofer said he had not seen a SF claim approved in many months.

I am in Illinois but the case(s) are nationally spread, snip below is from Oklahoma. You see it's not just civil but the AG is involved too.

I should have been more clear - I was wondering if CAT was going to put their logo on Lou Henson court. I don't believe State Farm could stop their logo.

State Farm's naming rights have another 17-years to go @ Assembly Hall @ 2M/year I believe. Quite a bargain at the going rate.

Here is what can reasonably be done for the south end zone. They wont have the 200 million to completely redo it, but they could spent a good amount and could add a couple hundred people down there for a big price tag.

Came here to post this. These would very easily work with our stadium - they're just modular units, sitting on the turf. OSU spent $5m on the project, and is charging $150k/yr for each of the 9 suites.

I think something like what USC did would be perfect for that section. Club style suites, but more of an open section without fixed assigned seats.

Coliseum on-field suites, club areas to be added at USC football games

Peristyle Club, Field Club and 10 private field suites will kick off this fall.

I miss those awesome NEZ bleachers! Those were my favorite seats. Could sit 3 to 5 rows off the field, the team warmed up right in front of you. You could almost reach out and touch the action.

And the cheerleaders often warmed up, stretched, etc. behind these bleachers too. :love:

Agree that $2M is a bargain and further is a drop in the bucket for State Farm the company. However I wonder if this scandal grows (meaning SF is found criminally liable) whether Illinois would try to get out of it, and thereby find a new sponsor at a current and much-higher rate per year.
