Glad that Gene is still around to see this.

Not nearly enough, but a good start

So glad they did this, way overdue but come on 3 names? Who else can we add? Welcome to Eck Stadium at Tyler Field home of Gene Stephenson park. Lol

I'm still trying to negotiate naming rights on a urinal.

From a branding perspective, hopefully the media will start referring to it as Gene Stephenson Park, which is way more attractive than Eck Stadium.

It needs to be referred to as simply Gene Stephenson Park, IMHO. Unless there is some contractual or other reason preventing it, maybe just rename something major within the stadium for Eck and Tyler.

One would think this information is available through FOIA? 2 potential monkeys in the wrench.....I know there's a clause that allows WSU to send someone packing if they naming person, place or thing does something bad (I'm sure that's a fairly open interpretation in WSU's favor) which would allow change, but then there's also a possibility of a grandfather clause that overrides that. Both names have been up there for a long, long time.

I look forward to seeing the contract information soon.

I think I already saw your name written in pencil above one of them, with a finger enhancing it.

I'm assuming there will some kind of a dedication ceremony sometime this season.
