Maybe they can take down the affected areas and build a berm?

Have you been to a game at UCF during the last 2 seasons with the upgrades?   It's actually a comfortable place to watch a game with more spacious concourses compared to the other college st

USF should insist on moving our game to the Citrus Bowl.  It's not safe to play at the Wok.

If you meant bet instead of be, how much are you willing to lose - I mean bet?  Purty sure we pay under or around $1 million / game.

Even if it is a million a game, that's two years of rent for RJS vs 10 years of ownership..still a win for them.

If I read your post correctly you said $14 million per year.  But let's tack on the original $54 million that lasted 10 years.  I had calculus back in the 70's so I'm pretty sure they got 10 years of no MAJOR repairs for $5.4 million per year.  Probably about what we've put out. So in 2 years I'll meet you at the game up there to collect.  Unless you are coming down here next year and you can buy me a bourbon then.  

Edit: And I don't know how much, if any, interest was involved.

Where did GBS say that the Plancher situation was a lawyer's dream?  I'm the only one that has alluded to that situation here and even I wouldn't go that far.  No one has gone that far ... 

Where did I say he, or anybody, said that?? I was just explaining why I didn't want to use that term in describing the Plancher situation when I started comparing the 2 ...

Obviously the cost of construction was not included.  The point was that given what they have today the monetary difference of 14mil is negligible and worth it considering the revenue they've brought in over the years and the added perceived value.  All they are doing is getting someone else to pay for future repairs.  

I love Bourbon so I'd be happy to bring some down next year and share.  I wouldn't view that as a loss.  Remind me later and I'll comply.

If you go to that stadium and think WOW, I'd love this at my school....you need to give me what you're smoking. USF refuses to build crap like that.
