Just thought I’d drop this here…. South endzone 1974:

Ahhh, back when we actually had the six flags of Texas flying over the stadium... although, apparently all the flags hadn't yet been delivered by the time this pic was taken...

Isn’t the ‘Memorial’ part now specific to anyone who died in combat, regardless of when? I fully realize that it was originally dedicated to casualties during WW1, but at some point prior to adding DKR’s name didn’t that change ‘officially’?

Thank goodness.. I'd heard the term "reimagine" used when discussing restoration and I had no idea what that meant... Glad to know it's basically just facelifting an otherwise perfect-as-it-is iconic building. They better not pave over the bullet holes in the observation deck....

It is.. and not just when, but any American, not just Texan. It was done to satisfy those who didn't want one man's name on the stadium.
