Nickname for improved DKR Stadium

[4th and 2]

link

Personally I don't think the stadium should have a nickname. What's wrong with the way it is? We're Texas. We don't need a nickname.

 

[Huckleberry]

Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

 

[vtaenz]

Heaven forbid we get into a nickname war and share a nickname with another school by chance. We're looking at you ASU, LSU and Clemson.

Really? Death Valley? I think the only school that has a legitimate claim to that would be ASU due to proximity to the real thing.

You mean Taco Bell hasn't bought the naming right yet?

 

[AstroVol]

It's those damned liberals, I tell ya, always tryin' to change things when there ain't nothin' broken.

 

[Horns83]

terrible idea

What ever happened to Sneezy Beltran?

 

[jmatt]

Stupid idea. I still just call it Memorial.

I always thought the stadium name shold have been left alone, and that the field should have been named after DKR, not some rich guy. I also don't think that the rich guy should have a statue in the stadium either.

I know he's a great and loyal supporter of The University, and gives a shitload of money to the school, but some things just shouldn't be for sale.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

Did I mention the nickname thing is a dumb idea?

For the love of God.

[wherzwaldo]

It is our responsibility to flood his mailbox with notes condemning his dumb ***.

 

[htownlonghorn16]

incredibly dumb idea, the name is fine, people just call it DKR for short and thats fine too

The Palace? Cmon now

 

[longhornfan2818]

That is the dumbest thing ever!!!!!!!

 

[LittleBunnyFooFoo]

i've always preferred Royal Memorial to DKR.

 

[TheGallopinGoose]

"The Bull Pen": That's already a baseball term; it won't work for a football stadium.
"The Corral": Way to perpetuate Texan stereotypes.

"The Palace": Won't work beacuse it's already taken by the Detroit Pistons, and the play off of Darrell K. Royal's name is a stretch to say the least.

If you want a nickname that is short, easy to remember, and has the potential to strike fear into opposing teams, you only need three letters spoken with pride and resolve: D. K. R.

 

[Lat22]

It's Memorial Stadium.

 

[geezerhorn]

Somebody give this guy something to do!

Ok, here is an acceptable option:

Stadia Badass

All others fail.

 

[Goothrey]

DKR should be universal. Quick, easy and to the point.

 

[drborange]

Please don't forget that it is first and foremost a "Memorial" stadium, and a Royal one at that. For a shortened version,
Royal Memorial does nicely IMHO.
