Maybe you shouldn't get hung up on what [I]'lifetime'[/I] may actually mean from a legal standpoint.

For instance, I had a high end treadmill not to long ago that came with a "lifetime" warranty on the frame/structure, etc.  When I had a significant issue with the framing/structure of the product, I pursued the "lifetime" position and requested either full repair at their cost or replacement.  I discovered in this pursuit that "lifetime" is not [I]forever[/I] as one may think, but rather X amount of years after that particular product is no longer in manufacturing/being manufactured.  Since my product had exceeded that particular period, I was basically chit out of luck.

Now, the Dome is real property versus product, so that standard is likely different and not the same. However, the Dome's old roof design/structure is one that is obsolete in today's world, etc., so at least a significant part of what encompasses this real property is.  As noted, the new roof is a completely different structurally designed entity, in addition to the other required changes necessary to the building's foundation (regardless how big/small) in order to support same.

Perhaps the building's significant renovations/improvements, etc. required in order for it be a sustainable & habitable safe environment for patrons, etc. is indeed no longer that same building when that 1979 gift was made.  And, with that being the case, its [I]'origina[/I]l' life expectancy has been exhausted, not to mention that the true[I] intent/spirit[/I] of the gift donation was in no way, shape or form the essense of what we see today relative to "naming rights agreements."
