Problem is now the field can't roll out. It's too hard to move those extra seats. The field can't be watered and gets no sunlight. So it died. Now they are in a panic because they have to resod the entire field before Saturday. At a cost I've heard estimated at anywhere from 250K to 1 a million.
My tax dollars are paying for that. I voted against the damn stadium in the first place.

Lame. Greed made *everyone* lose. Well, hopefully not the Gators. Down with Buckeyes!
