Kentucky Proud Park.

15 year partnership with Kentucky Farm Bureau and Kentucky Proud.

Not sure how to feel about this...

I think this is good, but I wish they would find a way to name the playing field or some major part of the stadium for Keith Madison. Kentucky baseball would not be where it is today without Coach Madison.

Yes, Keith Madison Field at Kentucky Proud Park......with "The Hook" as the visiting team's bullpen.

I do think Kentucky Proud Park is better than Kroger Field. But maybe that's only because I understand the reference to "Proud" in the name.

I suppose it is better than Kentucky Fried Chicken Field, but geez, these corporate naming rights are uber lame

As far as naming rights goes, this is pretty solid IMO. Reminds me of the Reds' Great American Ballpark. It's corporate, but not in an obvious/gross way. Win-Win.

I agree that it isn't the worst that I have ever heard. However, I think it triggers thoughts of Tennessee Pride sausage and that is what I keep going to when I read the name to myself.

I don’t mind that at all. 5,000 times better than Kroger Field.

AGREE, I will be very disapointed if it is not named Keith Madison field. He did a lot for UK baseball without very much help !
