I have not reviewed any financial information related to East Side.. however, in theory, long-term, isn't the revenue from the east supposed to provide more revenue so we can get better players? If revenue from East side can be used for nil.
In theory, yes, but that assumes a product that people want to see.

How many seats will be included in the east side expansion and how much does it cost?

Assuming it's $80M (up from the $50M three years ago before construction costs skyrocketed) and 3k seats at $1,500 each, that's a 18 year payback. That doesn't pencil out. If we receive large donations for a portion of it that would help.

Sounds like a lot of debt...

I haven’t seen the projections but I think your $1,500 is off by a considerable amount.
