Furthermore, by stating that suite holders, who make up the vast majority of the seat license revenue, have 15 years to pay off (after saying "everything" was paid in 5 years)... Yeah Buddy, those numbers don't jibe.

"by what taxes? The local hotel tax? The tax that is in place because the relationship is mutually beneficial? Larger stadium = More revenue for hotels."

You don't think Austin and Travis County would benefit from a medical school, teaching hospital and multipurpose arena?

This isn't true at all, it's the exact opposite

Neither story mentions a suite or an offer of one.

Oh, well, that tears it since we know damn well news reports contain ALL pertinent facts in litigation.

I don't know whether any of your other assertions are correct or not, but if you're depending on news stories to state all facts in any litigation, you're clearly making a fool of yourself.

no. Austin is a big city with plenty of industry in town. The ut system has teaching hospitals in Galveston and houston.

I remember hearing that Austin didn't need a medical school for years, and then Texas A&M moved theirs out of the system and into the Flagship University. Suddenly Austin is too large of a city not to have a med school. (Of course there is already part of the A&M Med School in Round Rock.)

Well, let's be honest, when you are averaging 10,000 empty seats in football (90k of 100k), it doesn't make much sense to expand.

This is the master planned project to up Texas Memorial Stadium to 120k, right?

About A&M's athletics profit: that was skewed because y'all counted capital campaign donations for football and baseball as revenue without subtracting those donations as an expense.

That is no secret, nearly every report of your budget includes that caveat.
Why do you care so much? Go bang on OU's wagon and pony budget.....
