The Houston Chronicle reported on Tuesday, September 17th that the University of Houston’s football stadium will have a new name in time for the 2025 season. A merger between the current naming partner, Texas Dow Employees Credit Union (TDECU) with Space City Credit Union will see the formation of a new company: Space City Financial.
While the merger is still awaiting regulatory approval, expect the newly christened Space City Financial Stadium to be unveiled in the first quarter of 2025.
Since 2014 the Houston Cougars have called the current TDECU Stadium their home – the school and TDECU announced a 10-year extension to the naming rights to the stadium earlier this year. The Cougars moved to the Big 12 Conference in time for the 2023-24 season, after being part of the American Athletic Conference (AAC) from 2013-2022.
Houston won AAC division titles in 2018 and 2019, as well as won the AAC Championship in 2018. The 40,000-seat stadium located on the University of Houston’s athletics complex was opened in time for the 2014-15 season, and was built for a reported $128 million.
