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.

Neither story mentions a suite or an offer of one.
no. Austin is a big city with plenty of industry in town. The ut system has teaching hospitals in Galveston and houston.etexorange said:
"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?
Also have med schools & teaching hospitals in Dallas and San Antonio.Quote:

Why do you care so much? Go bang on OU's wagon and pony budget.....etexorange said:
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.
