ADDING DKR

The University of Texas honored legendary football coach Darrell K Royal by adding his name to Texas Memorial Stadium, making it officially known as Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, or colloquially as DKR–Texas Memorial Stadium. A hyphen was included in the naming to mark a distinction between Coach Royal and the Memorial to American veterans.
