Didn't Memorial stadium cost $321 million to renovate in 2011?  Throw in a $153 million Student-Athlete High Performance Center, and Vandy's outlays look cheap.  That albatross didn't buy Cal much in terms of the arms race, though to be fair, the old stadium was a seismic hazard so they didn't have much of a choice.


By way of comparison, renovating Stanford stadium cost $85 million (but came with the Arillaga discount).  Renovating Maples cost $26 million.  Bob can probably tell you about the other Sports-related construction projects in the last 20 years (renovating the Field House, the Arillaga practice facility), but I doubt they get to $300 million in total.

Half a billion and they still use portapotties. That's Weenieville for ya
