Students at a TDECU Stadium game cheer on the Coogs while holding a flag that says,

Happy Cougar Red Friday! UH and TDECU extended their partnership, with Houston’s largest credit union keeping naming rights of TDECU Stadium and expanding University support at least through 2034, with a new investment exceeding $20 million. This agreement marks the most significant of its kind in Houston Athletics history and gives the Houston Rise campaign a major boost. Go Coogs!
