I still want to know what makes a window cost 2k. Sounds like DoD spending.

It sucks they're replacing the windows..The old broken windows give tiger stadium it's rustic feel. Spend the money on something else.

I think you get a plaque with that...and the other $1,980 goes to the athletic department.

lead paint and asbestos abatment.....the windows themselves aren't that costly, but the setup to remove the windows safely and meet environmental standards is what costs the money.....

The window itself probably doesn't cost 2 Gs. The cost of taking the old one out and putting the new one in is mixed in with the cost. Not to mention Tiger Stadium is kinda old so they have to be careful.

Makes sense, I hear dealing with asbestos is expensive.

It's a good donation to TAF imo. We've all been bitching about this for awhile now.
