Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5321832, member: 1414"] Yes, obviously it would not get that. That's phase 2. Essentially the part Lawrence kicked in for includes: "a new hotel, student housing, retail and dining spots, an outdoor event space, and additional parking. The city of Lawrence approved a $94 million incentive package to help push the project forward." KU already spent $450M on the stadium itself and upgrades to the football complex (their version of Burton). Mansfield is such a drag on UConn. Lawrence has grown a lot since I was there 30 years ago and part of that is so many grads love the town and want to stay. It went from about 60k to 95k now. So they open businesses and everyone takes advantage of the school. When I was in HS, we used to drive to Storrs and play Frisbee on the great lawn. Imagine it in a town of almost 100k. [/QUOTE]
