Gateway may name complex after Jesse Owens
Cleveland AP The Gateway Economic Development Corp board may name the Gateway sports complex after Jesse Owens to honor the Olympic track star. Chairman James Biggar says naming rights could raise about 20 million dollars to help repay 75 million in bonds for the complex with a baseball stadium and indoor arena. Owens, born in Cleveland, rose to fame with four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and died March 30, 1980. Rev. Marvin McMickle, a Gateway board member, notes strong interest in honoring Owens while balancing sponsor branding.
