Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5333206, member: 44"] I'm not sure that that's actually accurate, particularly when you include the lost revenue from parking in concessions with the cost of above market rent for a half century, but in any event, it is based on a flawed premise. Whether the state owns an athletic facility in Hartford, or owns it in Storrs through the university, it's still owned by the state. So the notion that the university would have to independently finance a stadium in Storrs is a flawed one. But in any event, no one is suggesting demolishing the PBA in building a 16,000 seat arena in Storrs. What I am saying is the state paying the university to pay the athletic department to pay the CDRA to pay the state is a nonsensical transaction that exist solely to hide a portion of the annual multimillion dollar CDRA losses in the university's athletic department budget.
