The Blue Lion at حوإ¼½م½م Downtown is the new name -- effective immediately -- for the University-owned facility located at 101 N. 2nd St.

 

The building was formerly called Second Street Live before حوإ¼½م½م acquired it last year and began using the temporary name of حوإ¼½م½م at Second Street.

 

A decision on the new name came after Chancellor Paul B. Beran decided to go with an amalgam of ideas generated in a naming contest.

 

“The Blue Lion at حوإ¼½م½م Downtown has already been the site for numerous concerts, exhibits, meetings and workshops,â€‌ said Beran, “and it will continue to be a good choice for University- and community-sponsored events. Having this venue in the downtown area is important to us and to the region. Deciding on a new name took some time, but we believe the new name will establish the identity we want.â€‌

 

The Marketing and Communications Office at حوإ¼½م½م will spearhead efforts for the design of a logo for the facility. KFSM-TV, which sponsored the naming contest, will do a random drawing to select a prize package winner from those who submitted name ideas.
