Agree. We are one of the least expensive schools in the state too. Problem with that is that in some ways it shows. If we can't spend the money on the stadium spend it on more security, World Class professors and landscaping.

I would love to see the whole west side and endzone built now. The east upper deck can wait. I'm surprised they didn't put some academic use space in there to help justify using different money to offset the cost.

I think there is some sq. footage in Phase II, which can be used for academic purposes. I'm not sure this kind of "work-around" would gave been viewed very favoribly by the legislature. They had to present a plan which was beyond reproach or risk losing some of two very valuable commodities; time, and good will.
