 The first game in the new stadium was August 26, 2017, when the Rams defeated Oregon State 58-27.In March 2016, the university announced that it had received an anonymous gift of $20 million over a 30-year period with the express purpose of naming the playing field at the new stadium after former Rams head coach Sonny Lubick, whose name was also attached to the playing field at Hughes Stadium.This gift was roughly the amount that the university had hoped to make by selling the naming rights to both the stadium and the field.
