Quote:The original re-do from the Gator Bowl was considered a bargain at 121 million dollars.  Since then there have been over 100 million dollars more in various improvements.  

 

Our stadium hasn't been ignored and it's a really great place to see a game.  I don't think a new stadium deal will be a major talking point for at least 15 years and maybe much longer. 

 

The way they renovated it initially left open the door for future renovations so that planning a new structure could be avoided for a long time. 

The improvements before the Super Bowl were $47 million, the video boards and end zone were $63 million and the current upgrades to the club area and Daily's Place are another $90 million. That's $200 million in upgrades over the last 12 years or so on a 22 year old stadium without counting all the minor upgrades and renovations that have happened in between.
