I'm not sure why there is so much hand wringing in regards to the replacement of currently named spaces when I'm assuming no one here has access to the naming rights agreements. Does anyone even know if the Lampe family made a specific gift to have the athletics complex named, or was it done more as a recognition for his many years of financial support and volunteer service to SU, which was a very common practice?

Additionally, most naming rights agreements include language in them that say that if a building is demolished, the naming rights cease to exist. A lot of times there will be clauses in there that would give first dibs to the donor to name any new building taking its place, but it's understood from the get-go that if you are naming a building, and that building is demolished, your naming rights go with it.

I'm sure the Advancement office at SU will take care of these donors in one way or another, and they will continue to recognize and steward their prior giving, but there's a shelf life on that as well, especially if a donor/family is no longer involved/donating.
