Come on, this really needs some improvement - it reads like a recruitment mailer for the Bulldogs. Good information, just work on the point-of-view a bit.

The soccer match between El Salvador and Brazil in '94 wasn't a preliminary match for the World Cup but a warm-up exhibition match for Brazil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EricPZ (talk • contribs) 14:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it true that Bulldog Stadium was the designed by the same architect who designed Autzen Stadium? Autzen Stadium sure did look similar to Bulldog Stadium prior to its revonation. They both have that rounded bowl look with the high sideline railings that drop off near the corner of the endzones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.14.81.61 (talk) 05:16, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: move to Valley Children's Stadium. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bulldog Stadium → Valley Children's Stadium – In July 2022, the stadium was officially renamed under a 10 year agreement. I have not performed a move like this and I know the old name shows up in many places. Any help with making sure this move is done successfully is requested. Also if anyone has input on the move itself please add.

Support, the new name is being used by local media [1] [2] as well as the university itself [3]. See WP:NAMECHANGES. 162 etc. (talk) 21:26, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - we should not/do not use sponsored names for stadiums. Have it as a redirect for sure, but not the main name. Giant Snowman 17:05, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of examples of Wikipedia pages using the sponsored name for a stadium. Just to name a few: Albertsons Stadium, CEFCU Stadium, Snapdragon Stadium, UC Davis Health Stadium. Those are just the ones that are already listed in the navboxes at the bottom of this page. I could probably find dozens more examples. RickyCourtney (talk) 04:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Giant Snowman 11:49, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No Wikipedia policy prevents the use of sponsored names for stadiums. The policy is WP:COMMONNAME, and the common name "Valley Children's Stadium" can be verified at the sources I've cited above. 162 etc. (talk) 15:21, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, WP:COMMONSENSE applies. We do not use sponsored names because they will change in a few years and because we do not promote certain brands or names over others. Giant Snowman 21:37, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For what it’s worth, the basketball arena on the same campus uses a sponsored name in the article title Save Mart Center Nweil (talk) 19:43, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support as the new common name per 162 etc. and WP:NAMECHANGES. I don't see occasional moves as being at odds with common sense (one of the great things about being not paper is that we can make these sorts of changes easily), and if there's a desire to prohibit the use of sponsored names that should be worked out at a global-consensus level (e.g. at WT:AT) rather than at each individual discussion. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:17, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Common name for new stadium. I don't understand GiantSnowman's argument. In US sports, we very regularly use sponsored names for stadiums. I would say it is more often than not. The rare case of not using a sponsored name is for historic names of stadiums or after the stadium has been torn down. Natg 19 (talk) 01:43, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
