Space City Financial Stadium Nicknames

My apology, I must not be observant, where on stadium grounds is there a sign that says The Cage?

You don’t gotta see a sign on premises to know people / uh events / uh social media etc refer to it as the cage. Just google uh football the cage. Even stadium design DLR group on their site refers the exterior design as the cougar cage.

“Cage Rage” is kind of a big deal and has been a university-sponsored event for almost 10 years. But I’m sure the name is a coincidence and has nothing to do with the stadium. :slightly_smiling_face:

That is the coolest looking UH helmet I’ve ever seen.

Nicknames should be organic and don’t have to be related to the stadium’s official name. Between the hedges and The Brick House come to mind. You can also have the same nickname for two stadia such as Death Valley for LSU and Clemson. You can also have major stadia with no nickname such as UT’s DKR / Memorial or A&M’s Kyle Field. I say we should just wait and at some point a real nickname will be attached.

I actually think that “the cage” came about by a student vote.

Right. No reason to change it from The Cage. That never had anything to do with TDECU.

Kyle Field is known as Home of the 12th Man.

that’s not really a nickname is it

The 12th man tradition and atmosphere is gone now ever since they moved to the SEC.

They have a female dance team.
The band, fans, and crowd all sing Power by Kanye on the team entrance.

Plus they have an in game DJ which takes away from the old traditions.

The Aggies have more traditions than the Bible has verses, so adopting new ones or losing a few won’t be noticed nor missed.

I thought that the 12th man was just the nickname of their crowd and all those chants they do?

It is but it’s not intimidating anymore once they got to the SEC.

Wow, I didnt know that. Lame!

It’s never been intimidating. It’s just loud.
