Wallace Loh forms group to rename Byrd Stadium
Byrd Stadium may be in for a facelift.
On Thursday, it was announced that president Wallace Loh formed a group to consider renaming Byrd Stadium. The group will be called “The Byrd Stadium Naming Work Group,” and will be saddled with going over several renaming options for Maryland’s football stadium.
The reason for the move was concerns being raised by several student groups to Loh about Harry “Curley” Byrd being a racist and segregationist, so Maryland’s university president decided to establish this committee. The verdict is expected to be reached by Dec. 11.
