Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5110662, member: 12253"] i don't think you're wrong. It would be a 'waste'. TBH no modern football stadium is worth the money the universities spend on creating them. When does Michgan need to put 100,000 people together, besides 6 times a year? Tennessee? Penn State? etc. etc. It's kind of like that picture i saw once on IG about LSU's new stadium upgrades and locker room upgrades, but they had a leaky ceiling in their library that was being dealt with, with garbage bins catching the water. But unfortunately, this stadium discussion isn't about money spent being "worth" it, in the way you're outlining above. so, assuming that spending your money on football stadiums is a waste of money (in the grand scheme of life, it is 100%), [B][U]UConn either wants to be relevant in FBS Football or not[/U][/B]. In addition to wasting money on players, they need to waste some money on playing in a home worthy of a power conference badge (BTW The Rent [I][U]was[/U] [/I]worthy... 17 years ago). there are counter examples to this (power schools with not amazing stadiums) but those are fewer and fewer as the years go on, and they're legacy programs who were lucky enough to be grandfathered into the power status (northwestern, Vandy) - but see, even those schools are choosing to "waste" their money on keeping up with their peers and making modern gameday experiences. If we behave like a Big East school in 2024 we're gonna get treated like a Big East school. If we behave like a Big 12 school.... etc. [/QUOTE]
