[edit]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)
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))
- FIU has a baseball stadium? bd2412 T 04:53, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
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))
- I'll look for that as well. bd2412 T 05:12, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
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)
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)

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)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 18:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose - we do not use sponsored names for leagues/stadiums etc. GiantSnowman 18:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- That is categorically false. WP:COMMONNAME is the policy, and asks us to use the "name most typically used in reliable sources". 162 etc. (talk) 19:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. This has not been at Riccardo Silva Stadium, and it would be inconsistent to rename it now if we did not do so then. The deal with Pitbull, while flashy, is similarly impermanent. BD2412 T 18:08, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- WP:COMMONNAME makes no mention of "impermanence".
- Consistency, however, is part of WP:CRITERIA. It would indeed be inconsistent to not follow the "pattern of similar articles' titles" such as FBC Mortgage Stadium, EverBank Stadium, Camping World Stadium etc. 162 etc. (talk) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's pretty obvious that if the designated name of a thing changes all the time, then the designated name is not the actual common name. BD2412 T 02:50, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- The common name can change. See WP:NAMECHANGES: "If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match."
- The likelihood of the name changing in the future is not a consideration. See WP:CRYSTAL.
- I'll again point out that all of this is WP:POLICY. 162 etc. (talk) 04:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think it's pretty obvious that if the designated name of a thing changes all the time, then the designated name is not the actual common name. BD2412 T 02:50, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support, per nom. Esb5415 (talk) (C) 01:08, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose GiantSnowman is correct to say that sponsored names for football stadiums tend to be avoided where possible (see example RMs here, here, here etc). Number 57 23:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrisure_Stadium is a football stadium that underwent similar naming rights change and was renamed. 2603:7083:5AF0:85B0:F43A:ABF6:94A4:687C (talk) 01:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- That's an example of a stadium only ever known by a sponsored name, which is treated differently to stadiums that have commonly-known non-sponsored names. Number 57 15:47, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrisure_Stadium is a football stadium that underwent similar naming rights change and was renamed. 2603:7083:5AF0:85B0:F43A:ABF6:94A4:687C (talk) 01:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose – Per WP:NOTADVERT. Svartner (talk) 07:51, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
