I can see the benefit of it to the university as a community focal point, but at the same time I don’t think the football team deserves it. We already have a multi-million dollar practice facility that hardly gets used and I’m afraid the stadium won’t get as much use.

My opinion is just that it’s kind of a waste of money. We have a nice stadium. I’m concerned about parking, it’s already hard to park on campus. I wonder how they’ll deal with that.
