Bud Walton is showing its age for certain, but whatever percentage of it being paid for by donors is most likely no more than the percentage paid for your high school arena by donors, so yeah.

Auburn "high school" Arena opened in 2010 at a construction cost of $86 million.

Well for starters 30 million in 1994 is 44 million in 2010, but please tell me what it is about Auburn Arena that puts Bud Walton behind it? Then maybe we can talk about how a true FIRST CLASS facility allows you to pack over 20,000 rabid fans into the game.
