Not saying I do or don't agree with that assertion, I am just giving the stats generally trotted out. That was the same argument given for the Dome. Personally, I think the TED is a great venue and still strikes me as a modern and fun stadium. I'm not really sure what the "required updates" that were going to cost $300 mm were, but thats what was discussed. Perhaps more luxury suites.
