Leave Tad Gormley alone. Way too much history there, it's a great place, especially for high-school football. There has been talk of taking out the track to widen the pitch to FIFA standard. I love soccer, but this is over the top, Coach Gormley was a track man, and football coach second. Leave it alone.

I agree with you LuckyTiger on Dukes. I think purple, green, and gold should be the colors due to the reasons below..
It’s one of the few names that meets all the criteria: class, uniqueness and cultural significance.
La Nouvelle-Orleans was named in 1718 for Philippe II, who was the Duke of Orleans and the Regent of France at the time.
Another duke, Alexis Romanov, the Grand Duke of Russia, is believed to be responsible for the Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold. During his visit to New Orleans in 1872, the men of Rex adopted the Romanov family colors of purple, green and gold, which represented justice, faith and power.
And most Carnival krewes feature dukes in their courts.
Moreover, like the Saints and Pelicans, no other professional club owns the Dukes nickname. The Albuquerque Dukes were a minor league baseball team from 1972 to 2000. Since 2003, they’ve been called the Isotopes.
Dukes is a great name!
