Rudd may now be able to look at a legitimate study but case in point, we are still short on raising money for the existing upgrades even with Cooks $10 mill donation. As was pointed out in this thread and some of us have said all along, the report was written by stadium building consultants to sell a stadium. It did not consider what was best for the university at the time.

Maybe if you had alumni revisiting the campus for game day at the OCS the upgrades would have already been paid. Raising money is easier when the alumni see what they are asking to support. Today without an OCS, why should an alumni visit the campus?

I would guess that the % of alums that revisit the campus after graduation is low and of those that do it is likely a rare or one time visit. I was recently called by the fundraising office asking to up my donation. The student making the call was reading the obligatory list of things happening on campus. He was reading it like a bored life insurance telemarketer. I bet there are some great things happening on campus but it's real hard to get that point across to the masses when they are highly unlikely to see it.
