Naming a Stadium
The other day, Mark Davis, Dallas radio talk show host was subbing for Rush Limbaugh. While he talked about the political subjects of the day, (This was the day that Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with cancer) he took time out to talk about Football.
The story above is from December 2007 about the construction of the new stadium for The Dallas Cowboys. Mr. Davis noted that with a new playing field comes the sale of naming rights to the stadium and how he hoped that team owner, Jerry Jones would resist the temptation to sell the name of the stadium to some large corporation. Mr Davis suggested that it be called "Tom Landry Stadium". My suggestion is that it be called "Schram / Landry Field".
Tex Schram as general Manager of the Dallas Cowboys and Tom Landry as head coach, took an expansion team that couldn't buy a touchdown and made it into "America's Team". I think that they should both be honored. But as Mr. Davis noted, neither he or I will be Lunching with Mr. Jones to give him our ideas.
Ah well!
