As the future home of the DePaul Blue Demons begins to take shape, a new chapter in this program’s storied history is about to written. But that chapter — or in this case, arena — doesn’t have a title.
DePaul broke ground on the new basketball arena more than six months ago, but fans are still waiting to find out who will write a check to put their name on the building. Projections have that check being worth $24 million.
In the contract signed by DePaul, the city of Chicago and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority, or McPier, it was agreed upon that DePaul would collect all of the revenue from the sale of the naming rights for the arena.
