There is not much sense arguing it. I believe without any fact or backup that they've decided to stay on campus. That said, I think both options would have their challenges and cost issues. Tomcat is correct in assuming a renovation can and will have its own challenges that can cause cost creep to a scale comparable to a new build, and that is only exacerbated if they try to keep the building in use during construction. XC is correct in the assertion there is additional costs for a new build (land acquisition costs, permitting concerns, run off and waste water environmental impact studies, traffic pattern change studies, unforeseen issues in prep and foundation work, etc.). It may be fair to say that when you factor in Dome time lost to construction, they even out (fair to assume a new build leaves the existing in operation during construction). One thing is certain, this is a huge decision and then a bigger undertaking and to those who thought we'd be playing in a construction site this fall were not really listening to others here. A shovel in the ground is still likely two years away. No steel is in fabrication. No design exists. No funding is in place to even pay for such efforts. No architect has actually been hired to design and document any stadium solution. We hired a firm to do a study. Out of that has come several concepts I am sure. That is where we are in this process.
