It also can fall in like in Minnesota, costing lots of money in emergency spending and lost revenue (not to mention the damage done to the teams who rely on it as a home venue). - if you're competing in D1 sports you need a facility to play in. Something has to be done. - some of the minor reasons attendance has fallen off is it lacks the amenities and comfort we expect in a modern facility. - Since we never sell out for football now, an increase in seats doesn't move the needle. An increase in the fan experience provided by a stadium with modern amenities will. So to recap: something needs to be done. We don't need more seats. We need a modern and enjoyable fan experience. As far as money? We don't know the plan, so it's probably a little premature to get huffy about government spending. [/QUOTE]
