Football games are Friday nights, Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons - the same peak demand times as the fieldhouse would have for regular use.

Let's not forget the fact the unnecessary infrastructure a football stadium requires that would be wasted for the other 350+ days that the facility is a field house. Concession stands, extra bathrooms, Stamps retail stores....all things that are absolutely not needed for a field house. The combined football stadium/fieldhouse combination is a straight money grab or piggy back by CSEC.
