Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 275498, member: 27"] You are absolutely correct on this. I have made posts in the past on this, run the numbers. It makes no sense to spend $200-300 million for an open air football stadium (UM built a 50K stadium for $288.5 million that opened in 2009; SU plays there this September) that will be used maybe 10 times a year, and another $200-250 million for a basketball arena when you can build a dome that would handle both for the same amount of money, provide basketball fans almost unlimited seating capacity, serve as another indoor practice facility for SU's many sports programs, and allow the facility to host a lot of events an open air stadium or a 24K arena could not. Conventions, Final Fours, major concerts 365 days a year, etc. The new dome will be retractable too, giving SU fans the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
