[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129510058, member: 1427666"] But is there ever a final cost to such a facility? Renovations, additions, improvements, totally unforeseen add-ons are always in the future of a premier college football complex. The problem with the current stadium is that it is an island in an era when most universities are investing in integrated complex areas. I like the coliseum for its architecture, massive seating ability and it is iconic presence. It would involve biting a big bullet but I would like to see a modern bowled stadium sitting next to the coliseum. This would involve commandeering the area between the Caperton Trail and the Monongahela Blvd up to the Star City Bridge.
