Talk:Stevens Stadium

Untitled
please do not refer to Buck Shaw Stadium as " The Shaw ".

This term was "invented" by a recently former SID who had no previous association with Santa Clara University. For over four decades, since it construction, the stadium has always been refered to in a shorten form as "Buck Shaw"; as in "They're playing tonight at Buck Shaw." Young (last 5 years) students may not realize that.

While Candlestick Park (on Candlestick Point in San Francisco Bay) the former (and original) name of the place where the San Francisco (we don't call it "Frisco" -- that's in Texas) 49'ers call home (and the Giants called home) was (and is by some) refered to as "the Stick" ... BUCK SHAW Stadium is, has, and hopefully will be always refered to by people who care about Santa Clara .. as BUCK SHAW ... an honor to perhaps the greatest coach to ever walk the Mission Campus ... Lawrence T. "Buck" Shaw

Thanks ... AMDG
