They want to keep the momentum and buzz surrounding the new stadium moving forward. I am quite certain that there are a few other big-name donors that have already committed funds. This is excellent news. Worst case scenario, we are 1/40th of the way to fully funding the new stadium, assuming the high-end estimate of $400 million. It's Great Exposure! Viniks donate $5 million to USF stadium fund A 40,000-seat stadium would cost around $300 to $400 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the consistent feedback from everyone who has built a stadium in the last 10 years. We will borrow. The state will support. I feel like it's the same thing on every thread. Everyone needs to stop freaking out and just enjoy this. Get excited. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amalie Oil purchased the naming rights to the home arena of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2014. The exact terms of the sponsorship agreement are unknown to the public. However, league experts suggest that the deal is worth $1-$2 million per season for 15-30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe AMALIE IS vinik's company . Vinnik could have Amalie arena and Amalie stadium both in tampa. Edited April 6, 2022 by Outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Duke is the only stadium under 45,000 in the ACC at 40,000. Yes but also college football attendance has been trending down for last 7 years. I think 40,000 would be a good number.

If people start coming back to games in droves and we say we can expand to 50,000 when needed I'll never see that in my lifetime. And I forgot Cincy is at 40,000 which will be the smallest in the B12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
