UT’s stadium upgrades were paid for through ticket sales and donations. It was originally built in 1924, but has been expanded many times since, and is now the 9th largest stadium in the world by capacity. It also houses a ton of UT athletics in its interior spaces, like training and practice facilities for many sports, as well as academic kinesiology
Wow lucky. A baseball field here was repaired by taxpayer dollars under the guise that it will be paid for by FEMA; then they don’t know when that payment will happen, only a portion will be paid compared to the final cost. Oh yeah and the lame baseball team is going to another city. Cool, not that I care since I only went to one game in 20 years. And there’s a shortage in city funds to fix infrastructure. Go figure
Dont even get me started. I use an example of how the Eden Project cost half of what my local arena cost when providing a guest lecture at my university. Eden took an old mine and converted it into a facility that educates and acts as venue and has brought in 1.5 Bn quid to the economy since it opened in 2001.
I remeber seeing this or another stadium in texas being build, i think by a private asshole. The stadium was almost finished. They talked how they could close the roof and climate the whole fucking thing, in the texas heat. I almost threw up.
And the stadium was likely built with taxpayer money.
