Should St. Jude Build an On-Campus Stadium?

Let's get real. If St. Jude is serious about becoming a major research institution, they'll need a new stadium. The only question is, where?

There are those who think a renovation of the Liberty Bowl will suffice. But a renovation will not provide the state-of-the-art amenities that patients and researchers have come to expect of a top flight research institution.

Again, where?

Here's my proposed, on-campus, location for the stadium.

This location would be on the present site of the Patient Care Center, which could be moved to a more convenient location on the outskirts of the campus. Also, traffic down North Parkway could be routed through a tunnel underneath the stadium. If this proves to be too expensive, ambulance and other emergency traffic could easily be routed down Chelsea on game day.
