TCF Bank is being bought out again, this time by Huntington Bank based in Ohio. Huntington has a better brand than Detroit Chemical (which had kept the TCF name), and that will likely turn TCF Bank Stadium into Huntington Bank Stadium:


Detroit-based TCF Financial Corp. will merge into Huntington Bancshares Inc. in a $22 billion all-stock merger that creates one of the largest regional banks in the U.S. with dual headquarters in Detroit and Columbus, Ohio, the companies announced Sunday.

With Huntington, a major player in the industrial Midwest, the merger will create one of the top 10 largest regional banks in the country. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021 subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.

The headquarters for the commercial bank will be in TCF's new building under construction in Detroit on Woodward Avenue and Elizabeth Street, which will be dubbed the Huntington Tower. Columbus will remain the headquarters for the holding company and the consumer bank, which will represent about 40% of the combined company's business.

Go Gophers!!
 


Thank God Lambeau Field and Soldier Field and Yankee Stadium haven't sold out to corporate interests.

Pretty soon all stadiums will be "BlahBlahBlahDotComPark". Each name will last for about two seasons, then they'll become "BleeeDeeeBlahDotComPark".

PetMedsDotCom Stadium has such a civic feel to it. So does Google Field. I hope we'll see those names used soon.

I agree.

They just need to call it The Bank and Hunington can have a bunch of advertising around the stadium. Its main color is green for goodness sakes
 








As the FinTech revolution rolls forward, TCF will get a different name again in 10-15 years.

Just as likely to become CashApp / Square / Paypal or Venmo stadium soon.
 







Because the Gophers don't get much from donors, feels like they do everything they can for cash. 3M Arena at Mariucci sounds stupid. Changing the stadium name with each bank merger stinks, too. Sure Williams will be next.

badger fans are lucky with Camp Randall and the Kohl Center. UND hockey has the Nazi, I mean the Ralph and that will never change.

Not like they charge season ticket holders a large "donation" fee ever season that almost cost the price of the tickets or anything. :confused:
 








Use the nickname that was used for Memorial Stadium for decades..."The Brickhouse". It is a unique name not used for any other stadium.

Reporters will have to call it "Sponsor name stadium", doesn't mean we have to.
 

Why do you think I've been calling it the New Brickhouse from the get go?

Not so high and mighty. They've sold every piece of Lambeau except taking the name down.

Yankee stadium is one big commercial.

Soldier Field just fakes it and does non-exclusive "exclusive" rights.

Come on, this is the way it is if you want to survive,
