They should rename it Robert Byrd stadium.
‘This man was the president for 18 years and raised funds to build the stadium; but since he doesn’t think like we do, we should totally disregard everything he has done.’
Yep thats a liberal for ya....
They need to change more than that:
Mary-land is a sexist name. It needs to go.
The Terrapin is, I guess, a form of endangered turtle. That’s exploitive.
So, they should get with the times and change the state to Obamaland, change the mascot to crabs and change the stadium name to honor retiring senator Barbara Mikulski.
Therefore, the new stadium name should be something like “The People’s Mikulski Obamaland Crabs Stadium.”
Much more diverse and politically correct, dontcha think?
I think Curley Byrd was the reason Bear Bryant left Maryland.
You can’t have two bosses and I think Curley wanted to control the football team too. I do think Bryant respected him.
While they’re at it have them convince W. Virginia to change the name of the Robert C. Byrd tollway (I-64/77). Drives me nuts whenever I go to N. Carolina.

I think they should keep the field covered w/about an eigth-inch of beer and call it “The Big Vous”.
I sometimes wonder how George Washington has evaded these attacks. He was one of the largest, if not the largest slave holder in Virginia.
They could name it "Capital One" stadium, except... hm, no. "Communist One" might be too blatant to cut it with the alumni, and same with "Socialist One." I've got it: JAM Stadium — Justice Against Microaggressions! Or "The POS — Perpetually Offended Stadium!
Wonder if ol' racist Byrd was a Democrat? Somebody needs to find out and post it all over the Twitterverse.
How about the Jefferson and Washington Monuments among many others?
ping!
I suppose we could rename it Snoop Dogg stadium. Who wants to honor a racist, anyway?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I wonder if they will rename their NFL team the Baltimore Baraqqis after Jan 2017?
I propose the “Nathan Bedford Forrest Memorial Stadium”
