Student Name Incentive (“Rules”)

Student Outdoor Event Venue & Tailgate Park - Student Name Contest

A $10 million gift will fund the construction of a campus outdoor complex to provide year-round opportunities for student gatherings, including tailgating prior to Charlotte 49ers football games. The Student Outdoor Event Venue and Tailgate Park is scheduled to open in fall 2022. It will be located close to Richardson Stadium and will accommodate more than 2,500 students.

We want this space for Charlotte students to be named by Charlotte students!

• Submit your ideas to this Google form now through April 1.
• Vote on the top names at vote.charlotte.edu (dates tbd).
• The new name will be announced following the vote.
• Winner receives bragging rights and a $249 Amazon gift card.

You can submit as many ideas as you like. It’s important to note that while the outdoor space features amenities specifically for student tailgating during the football season, it is also a place for year-round entertainment, outdoor learning opportunities and student gatherings. Keep in mind that this is a name of a campus space that should be appropriate and have a long shelf life.
