That is a good counter point but Philadelphia is a massive football town. With Big East games happening during the week the grounds crew could maintain. If the increased cost of grounds keeping doesn't outweight the increase of funds coming in for the linc then do the Eagles even have a say in it?
Philadelphia is a massive PRO football town. Nobody cares about college.
Temple averaged 28,000 last year. Nova averaged 8,780.
Besides, Temple has an exclusive on the Linc until 2017 (they put up $15 million towards construction in exchange for a 15 year lease).
If the Eagles don't want their grass field torn up 12 times a year, it won't happen.
Make Villanova pay for Field turf, problem solved.
