So, not being from Memphis, I don't know the relationship between the city and the Univ. of Memphis. The Liberty Bowl from what I've read is owned by the city. So, if the city approves the funding that UM wants to do upgrades to the Liberty Bowl, who then manages the construction and installation of those upgrades? Just wondering since from what I've read the city hired a company to manage the Liberty Bowl. So, just trying to understand what role if any does the UM play in actual redevelopment in the stadium other than recommending upgrades and wish lists items.
