Two things....

I've been in the stadium....really nice.....expanding to 5000 would add very little cost...my guess is $14 million, tops. Apparently UD wants something a bit better if the $20 million figure is accurate.

Site: On campus? Where? Perhaps the Fairgrounds. But it sounds as if UD has other ideas for that location.

The Flyers are drawing only about 3000, or so, for FB. Are we really that serious about FB that the administration would decide that Welcome is inadequate?

Is buying Welcome and renovating it out of the question? Surely there was a time when the notion of UD owning all the NCR property...then the Fairgrounds (half) would have seemed absurd. But, here we are...a major force in South Dayton. If we owned WS, renovated it and allowed HS FB....would that work?

With a track around a playing field the fans are much farther from the action than otherwise. That is a drawback of WS, in my opinion.

Chris probably knows what the U's thinking really is...or could find out.
