In theory, yes, but that assumes a product that people want to see.BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Thu Dec 04, 2025 7:43 amI 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.

Re: Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!
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.Saint3333 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 04, 2025 9:05 amHow many seats will be included in the east side expansion and how much does it cost?

The irony is that is one of the primary reasons attendance is slipping.

Disappointed but unsurprised that the score act didn’t even make it to a vote. It would’ve given the CSC power to set some enforceable rules.
