A couple of thoughts.

1.  If you ask a lawyer for advice on a contract dispute and he doesn't want to see the contract before advising you, get a different lawyer.  The point is, any opinions on SU's ability to unilaterally rename the "new" building offered by people who haven't seen the relevant contracts is not worthy of your reliance.

2.  When a building has a name from the start for a number of years, the value of its naming rights go down considerably because a new company legitimately can doubt whether a new name will take hold in the public consciousness.  When the Washington Nationals didn't find a naming partner right away for its new stadium, the value of naming rights went down because the public is now used to calling the park "Nats Park."  When Arsenal Football Club's stadium naming rights deal with Emirates Airlines was ending, the naming rights were more valuable to Emirates Airlines than to other potential bidders for the same reason.  So if SU tries to sell the naming rights, XYZ Corporation is going to wonder whether people will still refer to the facility as the Carrier Dome or just The Dome.
