Court Ducks Ruling In UW-La Crosse Stadium Name Case

Veterans Suing School Officials In Order To Restore Former Name

Updated: 1:34 pm CDT June 10,2009

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is declining to weigh in on a dispute over the name of the football stadium at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.

Veterans are suing university officials in an attempt to give the stadium back its original name, Veterans Memorial Stadium.

The Board of Regents in 2005 named the stadium Roger Harring Stadium after the school's successful former football coach and named the turf Memorial Field. The stadium was first called Veterans Memorial Stadium in 1945.

An appeals court threw out the lawsuit, saying the veterans don't have standing to bring their claims.

After agreeing to review that decision, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday it should not have taken the case. That means the lower court ruling stands.
