Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5320404, member: 44"] Well, if you're making the argument for the university to own its own facilities, I would agree. Certainly, that's the most sensible way to avoid exorbitant rent and scheduling facilities. I wonder what the cash stream of 50 years of above market leasing and forgoing parking and concession revenue would look like versus payment of the debt service. I'm not at all confident we got the better end of that deal. I have to say, no one is calling the Hartford Civic Center, a "new facility", but, I'm hopeful that the most recent renovations will be a net positive for us. They seem to be. (I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from the same brain trust that made the decision to vent fryer smoke into the arena and narrow the hallways.) [/QUOTE]
