ST. GEORGE — Following “cash flow” problems for Southern Utah solar energy company Legend Solar, Dixie State University officials have decided to discontinue the company’s naming rights of the football stadium.
In a statement, Dixie State representatives wrote: “We have been in constant communication with Legend Solar in recent days and made this decision together to allow Legend Solar to focus on serving their customers, employees and the community.”
Legend Solar pledged in April 2016 to donate $10 million to the university for renovations to the stadium. At that time, Legend Solar committed $5 million in cash to be donated over a 20-year period and an additional $5 million in solar technology that would have been installed on the Dixie State campus through 2027, Dixie State spokeswoman Jyl Hall said in a statement.
