Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5016493, member: 44"] Fully agree that isn't to make the case for a new stadium coming off a 3–9 year. [URL='https://venuesnow.com/the-shrinking-nfl-stadium-lifespan/#:~:text=The%20standard%20lifespan%20of%20an,Soldier%20Field%2C%20completed%20in%202003.']Football stadiums have a stated life of 30 years, though after 20 years [/URL]they require large investment. When it comes time to invest a significant amount of money at the Rent, the state should consider whether that money would be better spent in Storrs. That's probably a debate for 2033 though. I will respectfully suggest that going to a game in the middle of a former airfield might be considered less attractive than going to a game back on campus. You may be right and fans coming from the west of Hartford may be unwilling to travel an extra 30 minutes to go back to campus six times a year, but somehow every other fanbase in college football seems to be able to endure the inconvenience.
