Lucas Oil Stadium has nabbed lots of favorable reviews for its retro look, sliding widows looking onto downtown and retractable
roof.
Now a question.
What do you think about the Lucas Oil Stadium name painted in white on the black roof? Does it remind anyone else of Mail Pouch tobacco ads on barns?
And whatâ??s your take on the larger issue of signage on the stadium? Do you like it?

Why couldn't they just have called it Lucas Stadium. If it really is worth all that money to put your company name on the thing, won't the name Lucas become synonymous with oil soon enough?
Oil has just about it's worst image of all time right about now, and we're proudly displaying the word all over our biggest building?
LAME!!!!
Lucas Oil is the name of the Company, not Lucas. Why would he shell out the kind of money he paid and not get it right? Heinz makes more than ketchup, Tropicana and Minute Maid make more than orange juice so naming them in the manner you suggested wouldn't make sense.
The name is already there, but let's stop calling it Lucas Oil Stadium. Call it Lucas Stadium over and over agian until it catches on. :)
It's not call WM Wrigley Jr. Company field because the Wrigley family bought, not the company.
But, I believe it they have plenty of exposure in enough places, outside and areas inside the building. RCA never came close to this much placement in the dome or outside.
I believe the roof took it over the top! It looks bad!
Do you work for the company? Why be such an apologist.
It is an ugly name, period.
By the way, the official name of the company (according to their web site and other advertisements), is LUCAS OIL PRODUCTS INC., not just Lucas Oil. So, if you think using the full name of the company is necessary, then why not use that?
They have amatuer at best graphics and it all just loks really tacky.
I don't work for them and I'm not being an apologist. I don't think it's a great name (although I love the nickname The Luke and that's what I call it) and I was just trying to point out a flaw in your logic. Obviously you didn't get it.
And brush up on you reading comprehension skills... I never said it was their full name. Lucas Oil is the name they go by in marketing materials, product labeling, their website URL (www.lucasoil.com) and that's how people know them. That's why they chose to put that on the stadium. Comparing it to naming stadiums after a single product as you did was a bad comparison, IMO.
What does irk me is that the folks in Indianapolis set back and allowed RCA to remove the name HOOSIER. Why could it not have been called the RCA HOOSIER DOME?
I'd say encourge Lucas to include Hoosier somewhere in the name.
Lucas Oil Hoosier Stadium. Now there's a name!
Don-
Have you been totheir website? Look at the plastic bottles of Oil. LUCAS in huge letters, not LUCAS OIL in huge letters. And sorry you have to stop calling it by your beloved nickname (The Luke) as per the the winey Lucas' orders.
