Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4872059, member: 44"] Yeah but that's kind of the thing. The CDRA "defers maintenance" until those normal ongoing maintenance costs get inflated into a need to spend hundreds of millions on capital expenditures. They do the same thing at the XL center and at the Rent. It bugs me a bit because that agency's job is to maintain and run the facilities and it seems to do neither particularly well. Don't get me wrong here. Rentschler field is our stadium and nothing is, or even should be, going to be built in Storrs absent a considerable upgrade in fan interest. At some point, the cost to maintain Rentschler field is going to become so significant that a rebuild is going to need to happen either in East Hartford, or in Storrs. At that point, serious [I]consideration[/I] should go toward moving the stadium on campus, but we are at least a decade away from that. [/QUOTE]
