Neyland Stadium name change?

[MEDVOL]

Thought has literally never crossed my mind.

 

[MEDVOL]

I have always though it was Shields-Watkins Field and Neyland Stadium.

It is.

Its kinda like the Summitt in Thompson-Boling Arena.

 

[RTVFL89]

Is this some kind of woke bs? Did Gen. Neyland do something "cancelable"? Why on God's earth would it be time to change the name of the stadium?

I have always though it was Shields-Watkins Field and Neyland Stadium.

I believe it still is.

 

[VAWL FAN]

Would you ever consider changing the name of Neyland Stadium? It was Shields–Watkins Field (1921–1962). Things were a lot different then. I know he was a good coach and such but you know maybe it’s time to reconsider it. Myself I’d like to see it named John Ward Stadium. Just a thought.

Is this a troll?

The University of Tennessee will one day be changed to the University of Haslam.

It’s actually Shields-Watkins field.

In theory what Phillip Fulmer did was IMO a bigger accomplishment.

tanking the program twice is a big accomplishment

I'd maybe consider naming the press box after John Ward.

What damn planet are you from? That will never happen and saying that is about the dumbest thing I've heard in a long while.

 

[over60vol]

this thread should be deleted and OP banned.

I agree

 

[ptcarter]

It's impossible to change the name to something different. Try it. You think people were mad at the Schiano attempted hiring. You ain't seen nuttin'!

No way!If you were to follow KY jelly,name the stadium after Halsom,be like Krogers or you could name it Pilot arena.Please do not create any more threads if that is the best you can come up with.

 

[Falcons02]

I like how the OP dropped this turd in the punch bowl and just keeps stirring the soup enough to keep getting reactions.

It might be the dumbest thing I have ever read on here... and that's saying something.

Sitting in a bar in Houston waiting for the game tonight…and I think they’re about to kick me out for what I said out loud after reading this.
Go Vols and Go Braves!

Obviously this is a blue thread but, reminds me of a funny and true story about naming.

In 1996, Taco Bell put a full page ad in the Philadelphia Enquirer stating that they had purchased the rights to rename the Liberty Bell to the "Taco Liberty Bell". The next day the phones were a ringin' off the hooks at the Enquirer, Taco Bell HQs, the National Park Service and city hall. People were fussing and cursing Taco Bell and the city for allowing such an egregious act. The ad campaign to this date is one of the most successful hoax advertisements ever run in America, as the date of the ad was April 1, 1996

I really hope you are kidding, or drunk…

Obviously the OP is sharing his thoughts, good, bad, right, or wrong. And I’m guessing he has no real voice in making this happen. BUT, it brings to mind how people can just throw out random ideas or “feel good” causes at committee or town hall type meetings … and because they DO have a voice, stupid things take place … and the rest of us are sitting around a week later thinking “ WHAT JUST HAPPENED … ?”

 

[VolBallGuy]

And you thought a double of Jack in your coffee was a good idea…

LOL. This happens where I work. The next thing you know an improvement turns into a nightmare.
