I think it was clear for some time some of the more expensive luxury features might not be ready for Gameday #1.

However, putting in the field and fireproofing the press box were probably not on that luxury list.  It is only June, so I am sure all will get done.  The question is $$$, and the UCB AD seems fond of looking beyond its base for financial help.

I fully expect the excuses will come.  The UCB AD COULD have come in with only a $5 million deficit this year, but because of the unanticipated construction delays the UCB AD had to spend $XYZ million to expedite construction for the safety of the fans, media, and athletes.  There was no other way.  Sorry.
