Wait, they aren't tearing down the east side? Do the phog squawks know this because that sure isn't the impression I've got from their stadium thread.
Yes, anyone following this closely knows that the east side isn't part of Phase 1, which also helps explain why capacity can't be stated with precision until they get the funds to tear down and rebuild the east side. Phase 1 is a bunch of crap in Anderson you can't see, and then obviously what you see is missing, here: https://kugatewaydistrict.com/live-cameras/ (Pay heed: beware of the Fog).
I knew construction was in phases but was unaware funding had not been secured for the full stadium 
Unfortunately, we invested it all in DJT while it was just sitting there idle ...
I did read we can borrow like $250MM from the endowment, or something like that. Don't know the specifics on that, and living far away, really don't care. That said, I would agree from Phogistan's reactions that communication about the whole project appears to be frustrating to donors and casual fans alike.
Not gE and not being all 'tater but if we pulled this crap I'd be very confused and concerned. This almost feels Royals-esque but like they don't need the public to weigh in on it. Just seems very unclear what is going on and what is to be expected and no real transparency to speak of. I'm sure they'll pull it off just feels very iffy.
