"We've been working with the consultants that helped reimagine Crosstown Concourse. We had some of the same braintrust working with us. It wasn't too long ago that people said ‘that will never happen,' and I hear some of the same voices saying this (the Coliseum) will never happen – I've heard it for eight years. Honestly, the Crosstown project was a much much heavier lift than this would be comparatively.” That's Coliseum Coalition co-founder Marvin Stockwell, during the March 15 press conference to rally support to save the historic Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis, Tennessee. The Coalition also made public a detailed development plan for its revitalization, a plan that included Coliseum structural data compiled based on the results of two separate assessments, “including the city's own assessment,” Stockwell said. “Now that we know all that we know – culminated in this plan – now we know conclusively that this building is in excellent shape. One of the summary conclusions of this plan is that the Mid-South Coliseum is restorable,” Stockwell said. “These are the same people that said Crosstown Concourse was restorable and it turns out they were right. I trust that summary in intel.” Join host Mark Fleischer for this exclusive, on-location StoryBoard 30 episode that includes the full press conference held on the north steps of the Mid-South Coliseum.

They also compare Theory's push in WWE to Wardlow's push in AEW before being joined by Marvin Stockwell of the Coliseum Coalition to discuss the history and future of one of professional wrestling's greatest landmarks, the Mid-South Coliseum.

Marvin Stockwell has worn many hats, including medical PR specialist, musician, podcaster, author, and advocate. In the latter role, he has played a leading role in the formation of the Coliseum Coalition, which is dedicated to the preservation and redevelopment of the MidSouth Coliseum. Many would consider the Coliseum a lost cause...after all, it had been mothballed and the city had announced its intention to tear it down. That got Marvin thinking: "What makes us take up causes that others think are impossible?" In this program, Marvin and Emily dig into what makes champions tick, and talk specifically about buildings and places where local advocates have made a difference in preserving them, from the Coliseum and Crosstown to smaller places like the Luciann Theater and Griggs Business College.

Many consider Mike McCarthy the godfather of independent film in Memphis, but in addition to his films, he has created comic books, graphic novels, sculptures, played in bands, and was the co-founder of the Coliseum Coalition, the grassroots group that worked to save Memphis' historic Mid-South Coliseum from the wrecking ball, and is now working to reactivate it. The common thread in all of Mike's work is a desire to make meaning and build culture through art.

In this episode of Faithfully Memphis, Emily Austin is joined by "glass-overflowing optimist" Marvin Stockwell for a conversation on faith, nonprofit communications, and why we should all find a so-called lost cause to champion. In addition to his career at Church Health, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and FedEx, Stockwell has been a driving force behind Friends of the Fairgrounds and the Coliseum Coalition, which seeks to restore and repurpose the Mid-South Coliseum into a facility that will continue to serve Memphians for years to come. We also talk about one of the original STEMenists, Florence Nightengale, in honor of her feast day!

For the second show in our Endangered Structures series, Memphis Metropolis sits down with Angela Barksdale and Roy Barnes of the Coliseum Coalition to discuss why the Coliseum is so important to Memphis and particularly, the Orange Mound neighborhood; how the Coalition is working to support its redevelopment; and how the building can enhance and support the Liberty Park development at the Fairgrounds. Later in the program, regular commentator Cole Bradley from High Ground News comes back to share childhood memories of the Coliseum and discuss the Beltline, a smaller but equally historic neighborhood that is also adjacent to the Fairgrounds.

As co-founder and spokesman for the Coliseum Coalition, Marvin has worked with others for five years to reopen the beloved midsize venue. In 2016, he also co-founded Friends of the Fairgrounds, which conducted a yearlong stakeholder input process to determine what people wanted to see the wider Fairgrounds land parcel become. In the last two years, Marvin and his fellow Coliseum Coalition board members have worked closely with the City of Memphis on 90+ Coliseum tours for potential investors, two community clean-ups, and plans for revitalizing events inside the Coliseum.

Historic preservation architect and Coliseum Coalition vice president Chooch Pickard led an interdisciplinary team of experts to produce a physical assessment of the shuttered Mid-South Coliseum in 2016. That assessment found the building to be in excellent shape, and those findings were later corroborated by the City of Memphis’ own due diligence. Chooch brings to bear decades of experience restoring other landmark buildings in Memphis as he and his colleagues work with the City to reopen the Coliseum.If you’d like to donate to OAM to help with rent relief you can do so @ www.theoamnetwork.com/donate

Is 2020 the year when we will see an indoor event in the Mid-South Coliseum? The Coliseum has been empty since 2006, when “Memphis was at low civic ebb in enthusiasm,” as Marvin Stockwell said. The FedEx Forum and the Pyramid were open and in use, and the Mid-South Coliseum was seen as obsolete. However, since 2015, various groups of passionate individuals, including StoryBoard 30 guests Marvin Stockwell and Chooch Pickard of the Coliseum Coalition, have been hard at work connecting community members, city officials, and other nonprofits, joining forces to bring the Coliseum back to life. Join host Mark Fleischer as he sits down with Marvin and Chooch to discuss where the efforts to revitalize this historic structure are now, and what to expect in 2020.
