Coming Soon to UC Berkeley: Football, Brought to You by Kabam (Update: For $18MM)
The football field in the University of California at Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium is about to get a new name, according to the San Francisco Chronicle: Kabam Field, named after the social games studio. Kabam doesn’t make any football games, but three of its four co-founders are Berkeley alums. The studio’s biggest hits are MMOs like Dragons of Atlantis and movie tie-in games like Fast & Furious 6: The Game. The re-naming cost $18 million for a 15-year deal.
