Riccardo Silva Stadium will be the new name of FIU's football stadium, sources told ESPN. The stadium naming rights deal is for five years, sources said. Silva recently donated $2.26 million for various improvements to the stadium including a new playing surface and video scoreboard. The 46-year old Silva is president and co-owner of Miami FC of the North American Soccer League, which also plays its home games in the same stadium as the Panthers. Silva Stadium will be among a handful of college football stadiums named after individuals that are still alive. Others include Oklahoma State's Boone Pickens Stadium; Kansas State's Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium and SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
