Guest CardinalClaw Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I don't like anything with bowl on the end of it for two reasons 1. It sound like a game not a stadium 2. We don't have a bowled in stadium I too really like "The Cage", so I'm going to start calling PUS that. Quote
Guest boomer Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 I like "The Cage" but how about "The U " that way the benefactor is still included, and we get a name that really rings out? Quote
theTestament Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 THE HILL. It goes back to two things: naturally the Spindletop Hill and second, how many of you remember going to games as a kid and sitting on the hill. This name has relevance and it sounds good. The Cards ot king of the Hill. Quote
jdcurran235 Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 No one liked RED DAWN. Whats up with that. I thought that was pretty good and a great movie reference as well. Quote

Nice, reference, I actually didn't catch it at first but I do love that movie!! I'm still pretty sold on 'The Cage' although I can see some rationale in the 'The Hill' One thing I know I like the names that are 'The ____' insert one sylable word, the shorter the better. Quote
theTestament Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Wow CA, i never would have thought we could agree on something. My vote is for "the HILL" It sounds badass! Quote

Guest bigredfan2 Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 We have gone all these years with out a nickname for the MOntagne Center, but the PU stadium needs a nickname fast. The plant behind stadium try their best by putting their plant in a idle or slow mode to try to minimize the possible upset (stink) while the stadium is being used. I am leaning toward 'THE CAGE'.

Big T Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 The Montange Center should be "The Nest". It's even a bowl shape like a nest. Quote

Vroo Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I like "The Hill" as it could take on a life of its own. It almost has an ominous sound to it. You don't want to go to the hill. I also like "The Cage" but either would be better than PUS. Quote

Thanks for joining Vroo, I agree either would be better, Provost Umphrey Stadium is a really long name and sounds really pretentious to be a CFB stadium. Quote

Thanks for joining Vroo, I agree either would be better, Provost Umphrey Stadium is a really long name and sounds really pretentious to be a CFB stadium. Thanks for having me. I have been watching this site for some time now but I do agree that the stadium needs a meaningful yet catchy name. I'm sure that most alumni and current LU students are grateful for the generous contributions made by the Umphreys but I see nothing wrong with a nickname for the stadium. This is common practice throughout sport and can only add to the history and lore of the venue. Although "The House Umphery Built" is pretty funny and catchy. Quote

lcm2007ms Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Whatever is decided it needs to be promoted to the public. Someone should create a Facebook fan page and maybe a new shirt design with the angry cards logo but with the cardinal head busting through a birdcage. BRI could use it for fundraising since we didn't get to on the last idea. Obviously, I'm partial to "The Cage" :) Quote
