Guest Ari_Hinkelberger Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Can't imagine a stadium costing more then 50 mil. How about a long term fundraising campaign --- with the end result a OCS. How about some sort of vision for the thing. Do we have a vision...? Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a long term fundraising campaign --- with the end result a OCS. How about some sort of vision for the thing. Do we have a vision...? Oh well.Here's your "vision" as to what this stadium should look like based on our needs:1) Minimum 40,000 - 50,000 seats2) Chairback seating (our tickets holders are used to this, so they should be expecting nothing less)3) Some type of club/priority seating area.I'm sure there are other things that could be put into an OCS that I have forgotten (scoreboards, concessions, etc.).If the first 3 things are part of the vision for the OCS, then you can be rest assured that $50 million is not going to be anywhere near the final price tag.

Guest Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ari -The 40,000 seat stadium for U Conn cost $90 million, paid by the state of Connecticut (it was originally part of a larger plan to bring the Patriots to Hartford, when that fell through the stadium was downsized and other projects were added to the $300+ million bond that was issued)...So yes, any real stadium will cost much more than $50 million...
