Bowman Gray Stadium

I had heard rumors before on the possibility of Winston-Salem selling Bowman Gray to Winston Salem State. A friend told me today that this might well be Bowman Gray's last season. The only article i have found so far is from February.

The street word is that a few alumni have the money to make the purchase possible. Apparently there are some lease agreements in place, but things can always change.

This seems to come up every couple of years for the past few seasons. It will take a bunch of lawyers and who ever has the most money and/or political interest to finalize something.I think I remember hearing something about racing there being grandfathered into whatever happens...not sure though. Even if WSS takes it over, racing could still be held there. The university would be foolish to give up a great revenue source, especially with them having a motorsports program. I know that my son is growing up loving to go there and has grown close to several competitors. I do believe that there would be a great outcry if racing was not going exist. If you have never been there, GO!

With all the money being made on racing at the Stadium, I find it hard to imagine that any owner would want to end such. My question is where would all those racers go if racing there did end ?

WSSU does not have the resources to purchase the facility. They were not even able to keep up their end of the bargain on the new field house. If Wake had to buy the coliseum and the city gave the stadium to WSSU, the outcry would be worse than the uproar caused by the building of the new BB&T Ballpark. BUT, racing is in the cards untill at the least, 2020 and probably beyond.
