Lowe's biggest legacy as chairman — the move to a new 32,000-capacity stadium.
In August 2001, Southampton Football Club moved to St Mary's Stadium, ending their 103-year tenure at The Dell.
The new 32,000-capacity stadium was the centrepiece of Rupert Lowe's vision for the club. It more than doubled the capacity of The Dell and provided modern facilities.
The stadium move was considered Lowe's signature achievement as chairman, providing Southampton with infrastructure to compete at the top level.
The final match at The Dell had been an emotional 3-2 victory over Arsenal in May 2001.
