Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1792595, member: 1423"] It's speculative, but if the renovations are as extensive as currently indicated, this isn't just new carpeting. The re-do is going to cost 9 times what the original building cost. The "Dome" itself .. the quintessential feature on which the corporate rights were based ... is being removed. Extensive structural work -- new work -- is planned, including pillars, modifications to the height of all the outer walls, clarestory windows, additions on both the East and West sides. There will still be a field, and some parts of the walls will remain. But the facility's going to be a new place, I hope with a new name. The company scored big on the rights 35 years ago for a (comparatively paltry investment). Now it (and the jobs) are history. We need a new sponsor for our new facility who's more committed to the area and the U. [/QUOTE]
