4 Poles and a tarp? We are paying illegal immigrants too much if they are paying $4,000,000 for 4 Poles.

I bet UAB's IPF can't even do long division. We ain't got time for that!

When UH announced the change, none of these "honors" were mentioned so it sounds like UH did it to appease the family rather than paying respect to the man who made the facility possible.


Then maybe your current stadium should have been named Ownby. Why was he forgotten when the new stadium was built? Maybe SMU wanted to forget his name since SMU took his donation for a library and built a football stadium instead.

I'm guessing you'll say demolition vs renovation. The changes are quite drastic and not some cosmetic change, but technically you would be correct.

To coog's point, had the moody foundation not stepped up during the renovation the coliseum would likely have been renamed.

Heard the same thing. The powers considered renaming it, "The June Jones Mausoleum"; where other teams come, to be put to rest !

If my family's name was .ownby, I would donate money to demand lush that crumbling piece of ... I am honestly surprised that we were able to bring it up to code in 1989 #collapse

Fired is an entirely new stadium.

And yet the Hofheinz family and foundation were upset about the condition of the basketball arena as stated in their suit, but they weren't willing to provide any funding to maintain/improve it to honor his name. In fact, they wanted money given to them.
