Thank God you're not a structural engineer. With normal upkeep Tiger Stadium can last as long as the Coliseum.
The Coliseum is constructed almost entirely out of stone. The oldest, permanent concrete building in the United States is Harvard Stadium, which is 108 years old. Are you suggesting that 20th Century concrete buildings can last, under the use we make of a football stadium for 2000 years?
I don't have to be a structural engineer to realize how ludicrous that sounds.

Yes, with normal upkeep Tiger Stadium absolutely can last as long as you want.
