Untitled[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was no move. -- tariqabjotu 00:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

I don't see why this would warrant moving every couple of years when a new company buys naming rights. It has been "Byrd Stadium" for 50 years and it is still called "at Byrd Stadium", which appears to be a technical sidestep of retaining the normal name of the stadium while slapping the name of the bank alongside it as the name of the "Field". The article should be changed to clarify this as well, and it should not be moved. —Centrx→talk • 07:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Centrx and Oppose the proposed move. -- Beardo 23:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion Question[edit]

Where will the proposed expansion be located?--BigMac1212 01:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

   They want to make a second deck around the entire stadium, sort of like the Horseshoe in Ohio State.

The Snake Pit?[edit]

What is the source for Byrd being called the "Snake Pit"? I've never heard it called as such... The only sources I could find during a cursory google search look like a couple messageboard postings and wiki-like encyclopedia articles, probably stemming from this article. I'm to go ahead and take it out. Strikehold (talk) 02:52, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been dealing with repeated edits to this page by an anonymous IP user that continues to put "The Snake Pit" in the article. If that user can PLEASE, cite a reliable source, I am all for including it; but until then, it has to stay out of this article. I've had that user blocked for violations of vandalism and 3RR, but she/he continues to make these edits. I'm getting pretty frustrated with the whole thing.

Architect[edit]

The Infobox identifies the stadium architect as James R. Edmunds Jr. based on a 1950 edition of The Baltimore Sun. I replaced the dead link for that source, though the new link may have limited access. The article reads in part, "Edmunds, ... is working on plans for a field house for the university's new stadium".^[1] That is all it says about Edmunds and the stadium. Is that really enough to say he is the stadium architect?
