The facility (or dump) lacks luxury amenities which are cash cows at other universities. Stop holding on to William's arena. Ok, it's a kinda cool looking historic building, but it's time to upgrade!

We sit directly across the field from the band at The Bank, and we can barely hear them during the game.

My neighbors and I were just talking about this, and we came to the conclusion that a lot of the generalizations are based on internet rumors and "fake news" (sorry). In 30 years I've never seen a confederate flag flying in town.. I've seen a few confederate bumper stickers on jacked up trucks...

Open bar, food, entertainment, rest rooms ... I see a premium there.

Exactly!! Following a winner is expensive.
