This football stadium (and football) are a misdirection of resources, money, land and focus of a land grant university.  Tuition has been rising astronomically, more and more students are admitted but resources and money for academic departments have been "reallocated", faculty has not increased commensurate with the increase in students, adjuncts are paid food bank wages all while football has enjoyed ever increasing resources and now this extravagant new football stadium we didn't need.  Football loses huge amounts of money.  The football coach is one of the most highly paid people in Colorado and all on academic's dime.  This does not serve the people of Colorado.  Participation in high school football has been dropping precipitously.  Interest in football as well.  The tax exempt status of CSU combined with taxpayer monetary support also give the extracurricular business motive unfair advantage over private businesses.  This was shoved down our throats despite enormous opposition.
