Northwestern wants to build a new stadium that would host concerts and serve booze. Some neighbors envision chaos: “People spilling out of concerts drunk.”

sorry if it is behind the paywall, but when a university proposes spending $800 million on a new stadium, I wonder if maybe its educational priorities may be a bit screwed up.

Kind of depends on where they get the money and what things they supposedly can’t do because of it. I think theres an argument that football adds to the college experience. Building a better stadium probably helps them compete. But if it’s taking away money from the English or math department or other academic pursuits, then yeah.
