Everbank is approaching 20 years old.

 

Typical stadium shelf life is about 30 years.

 

The Astrodome was built in the 1970s.  By the mid 1990s it was obsolete.

 

The TWA dome (St. Louis) was completed circa 1997.  The Rams aready want a new stadium.

 

The Georgia Dome was completed circa 1992.  They are already talking a new stadium in Atlanta.

 

The meadowlands was completed in the mid to late 1970s.  It was replaced a couple of years ago.

 

Tampa stadium opened 1975 or so.  Raymond James stadium replaced it in the late 1990s-early 2000s.

 

We keep upgrading the stadium, which is a good thing.

 

But upgrades will only take it so far.

 

We can't afford to wait until the last minute to ensure we have a new stadium in place, or at least have plans for major renovations.
