Will Tiger Stadium ever be re-named?

Looking back over the years, it seems many NCAAF stadiums have gotten a new name from generous donations and other reasons, including corporate sponsorship (Jones AT&T Stadium @ Texas Tech).
Is there a specific reason that Tiger Stadium has successfully kept its namesake over the years? By the way, I love it! Here is a list of SEC schools and their stadiums, lots of memorialized stadiums....
Alabama -- Bryant-Denny Stadium
Arkansas -- Reynolds Razorback Stadium
Auburn -- Jordan-Hare Stadium
Florida -- Ben Hill Griffin Stadium (AKA "The Swamp")
Georgia -- Sanford Stadium
Kentucky -- Commonwealth Stadium
LSU -- Tiger Stadium (AKA "Death Valley")
Mississippi State -- Davis Wade Stadium
Ole Miss -- Vaught-Hemingway Stadium
South Carolina -- Williams-Brice Stadium (named after a woman)
Tennessee -- Neyland Stadium
Vanderbilt -- Vanderbilt Stadium
Texas A&M -- Kyle Field (on the way)

Louisiana laws make it pretty difficult to name state buildings after people, so if Tiger Stadium fits that criteria, I doubt it would be changed anytime soon.

I hope not.
One of the worst days in college football to me was when they renamed the Peach Bowl the Chick~Fil~Et Bowl. (as well as the Citrus Bowl, the Gator Bowl, etc)
I hate that something that is supposed to be about tradition is destroyed by commercialism

Please dear God no. I love being one of the only ones in the SEC that isn't named after someone or multiple people.

Money is the bottom line so I believe it will happen one day. Hopefully there will be a lot of pissed off fans. Granted, if I had Bill Gates type money I'd get that fricker named after me.

How about the Edwin Edwards stadium, if not that the Pennington name I am sure will be thrown around

No, but if Les Miles retires from LSU then I'd have no objection to naming the field in his honor. If he doesn't then the field should be named for Charlie McClendon.
