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.

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.
