Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5089994, member: 549"] Yeah… I read this this morning: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.kcra.com/article/sacramento-state-football-stadium-mark-orr-interview/62505445[/URL] ->[B] Q: With that, is there a budget? Is there a number right now? [/B] Orr: A cost estimate? We're working on that. We released yesterday some very preliminary schematic conceptual designs, and that gives an idea of the type of stadium we're considering. There are some tweaks and some more work we're going to need to continue to work on and tighten that up. Once we have a design that we feel comfortable with, we will get to the hard estimate and finance it. [B]Q: I buy a car; I know how much it costs. I buy a home; I know how much it costs. I buy a stadium.... Do you guys have any kind of ballpark number for where your range is looking?[/B] Orr: Yeah, I would say we obviously know just from comparables within the state of California what a what a 25,000-seat stadium costs. And quite frankly, I'll give you an example. San Diego State built one. Now there was 35,000 seats and theirs was just between 250 and $300 million at that at the end of the day. So, I'm not sure exactly where ours would fall. We're looking at 25,000. Again, we'll get to the schematics and getting to the details and have a number. We are confident that we will have the funding mechanisms in place. The funding mechanisms are not university general funds that are going to take away from academic programs or our student programs on campus. These are all dedicated funds for athletics and with those funds, and since we announced the stadium, we've gotten so much additional support of folks out in the Sacramento community who want to help, who want to contribute. So, I have no doubts this will be funded, and it will happen. <- [/QUOTE]
