Dixie State University ends $10 million stadium-naming deal with Legend Solar amid company’s financial difficulties

Dixie State University in St. George has discontinued a $10 million deal to name its sports stadium after Utah-based Legend Solar in light of the company’s recent financial plight.

University officials and executives from Legend Solar agreed to part ways in order to “allow Legend Solar to focus on serving their customers, employees, and the community,” according to a statement from DSU.

University spokeswoman Jyl Hall said the campus stadium will now be known as “Trailblazer Stadium” after school’s nickname, until the university is able to find another donor interested in naming rights.

Legend Solar had committed to provide the university with a $5 million donation, but had only made two payments totaling $150,000 before it stopped making payments in 2016, according to Hall.
