Augusta Mayor Eyes Demolishing James Brown Arena
Augusta mayor says the James Brown Arena may be torn down to make way for a new arena and that a new building should bear Brown's name. J R Riles argues for preserving the arena, noting Brown's memorial service was held there and his body later moved from Beech Island. Brown died on Christmas Day in Atlanta at 73 after pneumonia treatment.
