So, I heard it was a $60M renovation… then a $70M renovation… now we are down to $45M??

Agree, that caught my eye also.

After all this time, how is it possible that the design is not complete and ready to go?

Architect and GC have been hired. Currently in the design phase.

Only a guess. Probably modifications to lower the overall cost based on price increases the last couple years. No inside info, just a WAG.

Who are they? Do you know? Has the names been made public?

There were articles when hired. Architects Southwest (did south end zone and Russo). Don't remember GC.

Design has always been dependent on $$$ available. Same thing for every construction project.

You sound confident. Do you think it will begin so soon that people will not be sitting in the upper deck next season?

No, definitely not. But I’d be surprised if it wasn’t the season after that.

It is going to happen guys. I promise.

Not anytime soon.... maybe in 5 years or so but certainly not imminent.

Because funding wasn’t finalized yet.
