Where Memphis stands on Liberty Stadium renovation fundraising
“We own an asset now, right?” University of Memphis athletic director Ed Scott (left) said to host Jeff Brightwell at Owners Box Sports Grill Tuesday night. “A real estate asset that plays seven to nine football games a year. We have to make money in other ways. But if we can bring concerts to the community, the TDZ tax also benefits the city, right? So for me, it’s a win-win.” (Benjamin Naylor/The Daily Memphian)
