Full disclosure, I was perusing the Internet looking at arenas that had been built recently because I'm a sociopath. I was legitimately rooting for the Rams and Chargers to move to LA so that I could see new renderings for whatever the Raiders do for a stadium. I love stadium porn. Side note, Omaha (not the city but the school) has a $81.6 million dollar arena, and LSU still plays in the PMac. That's laughable.
In my search, I noticed that Ole Miss used a strange currency to pay for their new arena. Apparently, a football recruit can be used to pay for building costs. Recruiting season never disappoints.
PS - If the cost of one recruit could cover a new arena, everyone would have a new arena, something that I'm not opposed to. I could put spankbank on hold for a while and just use fly through renderings of all the new venues. Fingers crossed.
