[QUOTE="IlliniOllie, post: 1195543, member: 6150"] $100 million? Is the building constructed entirely of compressed asbestos? Anyways, I don't know that it would've needed to be torn down. Build a new stadium across the street, say in E-14 or the Terrace Fields across First Street, and keep Assembly Hall for concerts and other events. Buildings like St. John's Arena, Jenison Fieldhouse, Iowa Field House, and Wisconsin Field House are still around and being used for various purposes. The Terrace Fields would've been an awesome location for a new basketball arena, visually connecting it to Memorial Stadium with the Grange Grove across the street. (I know, supposedly the south end zone will eventually be re-built and connected with the Assembly Hall area, but I'm not holding my breath.) [/QUOTE]
