The following list of football press boxes which are named for a former athletic communications professional, media member, adminstrator or other professional was compiled by Kyle Neaves, Western Kentucky Athletic Communications Director and the football contact. Neaves surveyed CoSIDA members to see how many press boxes across the country have naming rights – either honorary or sold.
If you have an addition to this list, contact Neaves at via email (
