Looks like a lot of lipstick on a pig to me. Only new facilities would be a field house (which we are probably getting regardless) and a mid sized arena. I think I'm out in terms of hosting. Honestly, take $1.5 billion dollars from the budget and build a new arena, stadium, and fieldhouse ($600 mill for arena, $400 mill for stadium, $500 mill for fieldhouse). Toss in another $100 mill or so to fix up the remaining venues from 88' (Oval, sliding tracks) and call it a day. Will end up saving billions and we still get the needed infrastructure.
