Missouri State to rename JQH Arena within next year

Missouri State University announced Thursday morning that JQH Arena will soon have a different name.

The university will begin removing the current signage on June 3.

"We are preparing for a new name and a new era for the area," Missouri State University President Clif Smart said in a news release. "We have had interest in the naming rights, and we want that blank slate to be visible as a good-faith effort on our part entering this process."

The announcement comes after the university regained naming rights for the venue following a $10.2 million settlement agreement with JD Holdings, LLC.
