Longhorn football field named for lawyer
AUSTIN (AP) - The University of Texas, which last year added
a name to its football stadium, has decided to name the playing
field for Houston lawyer Joe Jamail.
When the Longhorns hit the gridiron this fall it will be on
the Joe Jamail Field in the Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Jamail, who has pledged $5 million to UT athletics, is a UT
graduate who's been associated with the university for a half
century. The Texas swimming center also is named for Jamail and
his wife, Lee.
The name change was approved Thursday at a UT Board of Regents'
meeting in Dallas. The regents also decided to change the name
of the Neuhaus-Royal athletic center to the W.A. "Tex"
Moncrief-F.V. "Doc" Neuhaus Athletic Center.Send
