The Institute had acquired the venue from 1927 alumnus John Cox, who had acquired all of the capital stock of the stadium holding company in 1955. In 1962, Cox donated it to his alma mater, claiming it was theirs to have and hold, "lock, stock and barrel." Actually, Rice was in an unlikely partnership with the Knights of Columbus in that regard, because, while the Institute owned the stadium itself, the Knights owned the real estate underneath it.

The Knights of Columbus are a much maligned group, and wrongly so. They are vilified for all sorts of wrong reasons. Anyone who has taken the time to actually study the subject knows this. The term is a mistranslation, and when properly translated, refers to the nocturnal picadilios of a famous Spanish explorer who brought syphillus to the New World because he couldn't keep his thingy under control.
