It does not have to be 'cove', but something other than 'corner', simply because it would sound awkward to say 'Leahy walks up to take the corner from Jacobson's corner'. For that reason only it needs a different name. 'Jacobson's Junction' is a bit long, possibly. How about 'Jacobson's Crossing'? Or 'Jacobson's Arc'?
The thing I love about Joe Jacobson is how classy he has been off the pitch as well as on it.
Someone who leads by example.
That defying-the-laws-of-gravity goal-line clearance to deny Ross Stewart a goal in that 3-3 draw with Sunderland is one of my favourite moments in 34 years of watching Wycombe Wanderers.
Well, it may be a quixotic quest, but I emailed the club to put the JJ corner idea out there. Expect a vote for the name on the official website any time now. 😁

Why cove? I might be missing something obvious here!
Needs an alliteration, but that might need some thinkng!

Jacobson's Junk won't work, so let's rule that out.
Actually let's stick with Jacobson's Corner. As no commentator ever says "he'll take the corner from the corner" anywyay.

Equalled by that incredible last ditch tackle in the play off semi final. A goal looked certain and suddenly he was there, seemingly from nowhere.
Jacobson's tackle?....no wait
We've already ruled Jacobson's Junk out.
True, but only because no corner areas currently have names. I think we would be setting a precedent.
As a subtle nod to JJ's background it should be called the Amen Corner.
Their hit 'Bend me, Shape me' also seems slightly relevant.

What's this got to do with alarms
Jacobson’s Quarter?
Or how about a Bayo-ism Jacobson’s Office
Love both of those, @Chris!
Each time we have a corner the PA system could blast out "Joe's Cove" to the tune of AC/DC's Hells Bells
