My comments on Dome replacement letter:
[LIST]
[*]Foley's Raij is a mercenary, his statements must be viewed accordingly
[*]The $495m estimate appears low-balled.  It should have included 20% contingency and parking (req'd for public facility)
[*]Probable real est. - $495m + $99m + $100m  = +/- $700m
[*]The plan is for the new stadium to be public, not private.  Which stakeholder is speaking for the public interest in the debate?
[*]A site close to the University is preferred.  That means within the City, but the City is not even a partner.  Whoa.
[*]The last time the public option got nixed due to the NIMBY crowd, so SU went on its own.  Won't be any easier this time
[*]SU will just be a tenant, so if JB retires, performance tanks, crowds vanish, SU walks away (?).  Who pays the huge tab?
[*]Transportation is essential, so must be tied into NYS plans.  Could take a long time to happen.
[*]"The univ is continuing to analyze ... additional improvements" to the Dome.  So rehab of the existing Dome is still on the table.

Since this is a proposed public facility, let's keep the process open.  I want to see the full report in PDF format on line.
