Serious question. How can Bama afford it if they can't afford to build a 10,000 seat basketball arena at this time?

Who said they couldn’t? Is it wise to move forward on construction of a large project that had a certain amount budgeted, which is now as much as 40% higher?

Alabama isn't building anything. The Advantage Center will be housed in BDS, they are allocating sqft for this venture with Learfield.

Do you think it's fiscally wise to build a new coliseum at a time when current costs are now 30%-40% over the original construction budget?

Alabama has recently completed, in the middle of construction or about to start $806 million of athletic and academic buildings.

Not an issue.
