Still less than their basketball team's salary.

Not sure about where the $ is coming from, but I believe Mangina will turn that program around and they'll be common contenders in the east

I'm not sure how a bunch of LSU fans could answer this question.

It is not large. It only has 2500 chair back seats and an additional 1500 bleacher seats to bring the capacity to 4000. It shouldn't bethat hard to complrte in 2 years.

They're using an upfront contract signing bonus from their multimedia/sports properties partner. And a few million loaned from the general fund, that would more than likely be paid down from the Kentucky Athletic Foundation and ticket/suite sales.

I'd imagine a large part of the funds were raised from donations. Just like most athletic projects at other universities.

Finishing in that amount of time will be a tight squeeze.

at $49,000,000 the ROI should happen roughly when we send a man to Mars again.

LSU didn't ask the question. A curious citizen did. Is that forbidden?
