$18 mill with an inflation rate of almost 10% (2022) is only $24 million. Anyone in construction? Is material cost literally still doubled? I don’t think so.Quote:

Material cost was close to double but has been trending down in the last year.Quote:

Yep. Other stuff may come down. Labor will only go up.Quote:

I asked questions to the administration. If I can't get the answers, I have several friends that have donated $50K to 100K to the stadium fund. You can bet your backside they are getting some answers.Quote:
