In a rental ng lawsuit with Carrier, they would argue the present value of naming rights for similar stadiums.  Being that SU houses three major men's programs and two major women's programs, the rights have significant value.  Also,.as pointed out earlier, the "Dome" is easily recognizable by most sports fans.

Assuming the annual value of the naming rights at $1,000,000 per year (present value) and forth years for the structure, the present value of the loss to Carrier is $40,000,000.

The above is probably low on the annual value and expected duration of the Dome, Carrier would likely argue more extreme values than I used in the example.

That said, I am glad AD Wildhack has plainly stated the name is "Carrier Dome". Not because I have a tie to Carrier but that SU keeps it's word.  Some deals are great in hindsight, some do not appear as great.  However, an agreement is an agreement and SU places value on its' word.  Some values cannot be measured in dollars.
