Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 885199, member: 86"] If you're talking the Taste of Syracuse and that type of stuff, I agree, but trust me if the City calls Daryl and offers up a concept...the university, if this were to happen, would not be in any position to laugh at any proposal. The last time the state came up with this kind of cash for a stadium concept was, um...never. When its offered, you say yes and then you likely will have to make some types of concessions that you never had to consider before. So to poo - poo any concept as a show stopper is not realistic. The only entity in a worse financial position right now to build a stadium than the state and the county, is the University. The dome is aging and in today's world of stadia, its antiquated. By the time the stars align and another such off comes around both of us could be pushing up daisies. So yeah, the university's leverage in the case, is two steps above Nil. [/QUOTE]
