Today the University of Kentucky announced a partnership with Kroger that includes the renaming of Commonwealth Stadium to Kroger Field. The change is effective IMMEDIATELY so throw out any of those old Commonwealth t-shirts and posters because those days are dead. This is Kroger’s world now, Big Blue Nation.
Many of the details of the deal and the rename were made public during the Monday afternoon press conference in Lexington, but tonight I’m going to share with you a couple of the changes that were not mentioned.
Expect these major changes to your Kentucky football experience beginning this fall…
Aprons and name tags for the coaching staff
As is the case with all Kroger employees, Mark Stoops and his staff will be written up each time they come to work without their aprons and name tags.
