re: Coleman Coliseum Survey

You guys want a new 120 million dollar arena, and you want someone else to pay for it, but you want the benefits. If you want someone to pay for it, they will receive primo seating.

Our university has an athletic department that is high profile, successful, and yes, wealthy enough that we should have facilitates that are high quality and appealing for recruits. Also, our fans, especially paying ones should have a place that is appealing to visit. If the big spenders get more out of it, good they should, a high tide raises all boats.

I'm also a little weary of yet another upgrade to Coleman. What will this be, the third or fourth time in the last 20 years? The place if fundamentally flawed. Do it right and build a solid place from scratch and put funding aside for incremental upgrades every 5-7 years.
