I remember how crazy that seemed when it was built. Pretty bad for any structure to be unusable that soon after completion.

The people who made these financial decisions should be buried in the cracks when the new concrete pours in.

Here's a reference that should put this into perspective..

Just before this stadium was built, North Texas spent $78 million on theirs. It seats 31,000 and they have 36,000 students.

Eagle Stadium was $60 million to build plus what may come to fix, holds 18,000, and there are 4,400 students.
