Crazy how smart that decision looks right about now. Real estate prices have
absolutely skyrocketed since 2016, I wonder how much they'd have to spend to buy the same property now.

It would be good. But it might also require shutting down a lot of roads during the game.

I don't think BYU owns the land you marked for parking.

I think they should buy out McDonalds as well and shift the proposed parking to the north to meet with Cougar Blvd.

How is this $4-5B? An NFL stadium is $900M, and BYU would probably be half that

BYU could do it cheap. Could just have a few EQs move everything to new site.

They could move both video boards over which should help with the overall cost.
