Believe it or not, Stanford probably has twice the money that Oregon and USC has. Stanford is so filthy rich that it makes a decision to demolish its old stadium of 80,000 plus seating. Demolition started end of November and they are playing the following September. That stadium was totally leveled to the ground. Construction was 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Can you imagine the costs to do this in the Bay area? This was not done with athletic funds, the University just felt like doing it? USC got easy money from Stan Kronke in rent for the Rams to support the renovation of the Coliseum?

I have personally seen both USC and Stanford's facilities and I did not see much difference between them. Just some west coast info for fellow elitedoggers.
