Bob Lewis Stadium

Bob Lewis Stadium has been through a lot over the last year.

It has seen one of the most exciting Wyoming-Indian Hill football games ever, state-ranked soccer teams on both the girls' and boys' sides, a young lacrosse program starting to produce formidable boys and girls teams, the return of track meets, a fire which left a gaping hole in the stands, and the installation and dedication of a plaque honoring Coach Lewis.

What it doesn't seem to have is a name that people actually use.  All great stadiums have a name - "The Pit", "The Horseshoe", "The Big House", "Wrigley Field", "Fenway"; even old school: "Candlestick", "Riverfront", etc.

Along with the help of Booster President Tom Horn, I've been trying to come up with a nickname, if you will, for the stadium that we can start using.  Right now I think most people would call it the A-Field, or the just something generic like "the stadium."

Some first thoughts:  BLS (analogous to PBS), "The Bob", "Lewis."

It needs to be something respectful, but "Bob Lewis Stadium" seems a little formal.

I even suggested "B-Lew" to Mrs. The Roundup, saying that it had the ring of "bijou" to it, and her comment was that everyone born in the 20's would love it.

So what do you think?  Any other ideas?  Leave a comment or send me an e-mail at wyoroundup@gmail.com.

  2. How about "The Lew"?... If you're gonna take on the Cowboys at home you'll just end up getting FLUSHED.
