When in actuality, you can get a very nice, functional field house for a tiny fraction of 200 million that wouldn't have to be shared with the Stamps, Concerts, etc.

Fabulous coles notes of the fieldhouse issue.
Big problem as well is with the fieldhouse, like remediation, while both were projects that were planned in the future, they were both unfunded and did not have any sort of date in mind, so they're being forced on us a lot sooner than we would otherwise be considering.
