How much more would it cost to start from scratch vs major renovations to a 50 - 70 year old facility that is tired and outdated?

This is the most likely upgrade for LES.

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

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

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

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