Kabam, a San Francisco-based mobile-gaming company, secured naming rights for the playing field at Memorial Stadium in a 15-year agreement worth $18 million, Cal announced Thursday. The $1.2 million annual agreement is the most lucrative field-naming-rights deal in college sports on a per-annum basis, topping Chevy Chase Bank Field at the University of Maryland ($800,000), according to a report in the Sports Business Journal.
