Okay, where are you getting $1 billion from? Have you paid attention to COLLEGE stadium costs? They aren’t $1 billion.

At a cost of $256M in 2010. Safe to say that a similar renovation would cost much more today. All for 7-8 events per yr.

Several schools, even private ones like Stanford and Baylor, have either done massive renovations or constructed new

What was the financial structure of those particular examples? Who paid for it?

Stanford’s was paid for by donors. Baylor brand new stadium cost $250m and $180 of it was paid by donors.
