Then they're going to say it will be expensive if we want it done right and we're going to need some big donors to get it done. I wonder how much this first study cost. $75,000.

Stadium is too large. 30k-40k would be better. Too expensive. I just don't see how they're going to find the $200 million for this. Location D is the best option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the puny TV money that the AAC teams now get or will likely get for the foreseeable future, in comparison to what the P5 teams get, it would make no economic sense to make such an investment. If I was USF, I would approach several P5 conferences to ascertain whether building a quality OCS would greatly improve our chances for membership and, if it does, then try to nail down a binding commitment from them in the future.

If it was that easy we would have done it years ago. I do agree with you that if our future is stuck in the G5 then we shouldn't build it. We need big time opponents in our stadium to drive attendance not other G5 schools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
