Well, helps to have a billionaire alumni benefactor interested in sports (co-owns the NFL Bears).....then you can build the most expensive college football stadium with less seats than Reser.

I have a friend who got his MBA there. He visited recently and said the fans actually prefer the new, temporary stadium on Lake Michigan to the old one, and don't want to move to the new one.

Well, they’re going to get a brand new shiny $850 million football stadium whether they like it or not.

BTW, that lakefront temporary stadium seats 12,000.
