Message: [QUOTE="mike32768, post: 887950, member: 1927"] Call me Mr. GPS. re: politics... Rumor has it, the building of the Dome was controversial. I was not in the area back then, but apparently the school dug first and asked questions later. I have not been able to find any detailed online documentation about the construction, however. I would love to read more on this topic. As far as it needing replacement... Of course, the Dome is old (30+ years) but it's a freaking concrete-lined hole-in-the-ground (can you say, bunker?) - what's to go wrong? They replace the roof when necessary, it's got brand new video displays; they added WiFi, etc., so it's not like they haven't been taking care of it. It works, damn it. I'm am NOT a fan of athletics entities holding municipalities for ransom for the building of new facilities. I guess I live in a dream world sometimes. ;-) [/QUOTE]
