This is the most likely upgrade for LES.

Big money rolls in for luxury boxes

Jan 5, 12:41am

Not nearly enough to recoup the $700M price tag for 6 whole games/year. I'd rather see that kind of $$$ go toward

I’m guessing the 700 M is for a lot more than just the press box. If we did just

Yes, whole lot. Stadium makes the Rose Bowl look modern.

Still not worth the cost IMO.

You'd have the people who are getting the suites pay for it

You're still missing the point. The well isn't bottomless. If $$$ goes toward that, it's not going for something else

Such a sad story. A tarnished legacy for sure.

I vote for a new stadium, it is time.

Maybe Ryan Smith can pay for it

The tweet is misleading - it’s $70 Million initially not $700

NIL. Focus on NIL. I love the current stadium as is

yes, NIL is the quickest and most sure way to grow the program.

I'm with you. Winning is so much more important to me than a new shiny stadium. After we win a B12 title we can start
