Husky Stadium got a $282 million makeover two years ago. Now it’s getting a new name.
The University of Washington and Alaska Airlines have again partnered on a naming-rights deal for one of the university’s venerable athletic facilities — now to be dubbed Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium.
The deal is worth $41 million over 10 years, the UW said, making it the largest deal of its kind in college athletics. More than half of Alaska Airlines’ investment is earmarked directly for student-athlete scholarships and welfare.
The deal, in the works for more than a year, is pending approval by the UW Board of Regents, which meets next on Sept.
