Overview
- Arizona finalized a 20-year naming-rights agreement with Casino Del Sol to rename Arizona Stadium as Casino Del Sol Stadium.
- The pact is valued at more than $60 million, which university officials describe as the largest total naming-rights amount in the Big 12 and among the biggest in the Power Four.
- Casino Del Sol is an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, marking a high-profile tribal-owned partnership with a major college venue.
- Athletic director Desireé Reed-Francois said the deal followed asset valuation, market testing, term modeling, brand safety reviews, and community input, and she framed it as part of an aggressive revenue strategy.
- Funds will support student-athletes, coaches, operations, and facility upgrades as Arizona cites rising expenses, and the deal is contextualized alongside peer agreements at Arizona State, UCF, Houston, Texas Tech, and Washington.
