Football Stadium Expansion

[Maddog1956]

I for one believe Coach Moore's name should be somewhere. I was thinking naming the FIELD not the stadium.. Something Florida State did for Coach Bowden.. Just food for thought. thanks

Not a bad idea! They should try to patch this up not matter who if anyone is to blame.

Field has been named...Dell Murphy donated a lot for that right. Not happening. Still think Moore-Brewer Stadium (although, unless Kidd Brewer donated for that name, don't see why we need to keep him in there) is the way to go. Another option is to rename Stadium Drive "Jerry Moore Way" or something.

[HeffnerIV]

Was it Kidd or Brewer who served time? Wasn't it for a Ponzi Scheme or something?

[appgrad]

It was...some sort of fraud. Anyone I've talked to who knew him said he was crazy and not to be trusted.

He bought land he knew was going to be bought by the State in turn.

Usually naming rights have a limited time frame, but not sure how App did it however.

It looked like some people were discussing naming rights to the stadium earlier in the thread. Looks like Charlotte is thinking that Lowe's would be a potential corporate partner. They say the CEO of Lowe's is a 49er grad.

Aren't they one in the same?

[appgrad]

Bid rigging was the charge, apparently. Unless he donated to have the stadium named for him, kind of feel like we should give it to Coach Moore. Did far more for school to deserve it..Brewer was here 3 years.

Just give JM a bronze statue of him on two players' shoulders like after Michigan, put it on the corner of Stadium Drive, renamed JM something rather, and stadium lot.

Done.

[appgrad]

Love the statue idea!

What about Jerry Moore field at Kidd Brewer Stadium?

Lowes spreads it money out pretty far and wide. I'd be surprised if they bought the naming rights to an unproven outfit like Charlotte football. I'd be much less surprised if they did something with an ACC school.

Is there even a college football stadium that has a corporate sponsorship? To add clarification, that would not include universities that play in pro stadiums or other multi-use stadiums.

Kennesaw State University and Fifth Third Bank Stadium

Very interesting... I wonder if something like that would be in our future. Would certainly help curb the extra costs of moving up and stadium expansion. Just seems wrong to call the stadium anything other than Kidd Brewer (unless one day it is changed to "Moore Stadium" or something like it). I'm curious what everyone would think about adding a corporate name/logo to our beloved stadium.

I'm against it, but that's just me. (corporate naming, that is)

Agreed.

Again...field already named after Dell Murphy in exchange for a sizeable donation. Not changing for a while.

Maybe they'll send them a 15% off coupon for temporary stands.

i'd pay good money to see Cobb walk up to the contractors counter at Lowes and order $5 million in materials, pulling a 15% coupon out of his pocket.

He can get some free coffee and donuts if he does it early enough in the day.
Wonder if Judy will be there in full flannel?
