Any building after 37 years of use will need improvements, BIG maintenance, etc and regardless of what football does from a win and loss stand point if the university intends to use the building as they have the last 37 years then the project is needed and the dollar value is accurate for what they need to do, it's pretty cut and dry really. They don't have much choice, people are getting caught up in the dollar value but given the roof and the stuff that is needed including a massive lighting upgrade, technology upgrades, plumbing and electrical systems, HVAC overhaul, etc the dollar value is fine and what they will need. To me it's probably a little light considering the dome is mass of structural concrete and CMU.

Cost of doing business and cost of operating a major college athletic dept. Not much of a choice and sometimes it's just easier to build new given the massive overruns with a project such as this, I live this shite everyday.

I am sure Turner and the University are working daily on numbers, budgets, highest need, schedule, phasing, design and logistics, Have to remember what a company like turner will charge as well as well as design and engineering, the job is far from straight forward.

Would anyone build a house and not do much to it for 37 years other than a new roof every 10-15 years?  Come on, it's so overdue it's ridiculous and the time is now as you can't have these type of interruptions every 4-5 years, do it now and get it over with
