FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) The field at the new on-campus football stadium at Colorado State will remain named after one of the winningest coaches in school history courtesy of a $20 million donation.

The university announced Friday that a donor who wanted to stay anonymous committed funds over the next 30 years to transfer the name ''Sonny Lubick Field'' from Hughes Stadium to the new multi-purpose stadium that's set to open for the 2017 season. The announcement was made as the Rams kicked off spring football.
