Welcome to Pitbull Stadium
Mr. Worldwide is expanding his empire to college football.
Mr. Worldwide is expanding his empire. Pitbull bought the naming rights to Florida International University’s football stadium, which will now be known as Pitbull Stadium for the next five years. (Much better than some recent stadium-name changes.) No, the Miami-area university somehow hadn’t already named its stadium in honor of Mr. 305 — so the deal cost Pitbull $6 million, per Sports Business Journal. But he’ll get a lot out of the investment. Along with the name, according to the agreement, Pitbull can use the stadium for up to ten days a year, “Pitbull-affiliated” performers get preference to play at games, and, of course, Pitbull gets his own suite during every game in the stadium. In return, he’s going to make an “FIU Anthem” for the university’s sports teams and will show up for at least one fundraising event per year. We’re ready for all of it: Pitbull rocking a stadium named after himself, finding out what constitutes a Pitbull-affiliated performer, hearing Pitbull’s new fight song. If you didn’t have your eyes on the FIU Panthers season before now, dale!
