Even if the bonds can be repaid my ticklet sales, it seems to me that recouping this large investment would depend on increasing Oregonians' interest in sports, and increasing their attendance, etc. While I can see the value of athletics, I wonder if it is such a great idea to focus Oregon's public energy and money on sports in order to protect our investment. A 200mil investment has the potential to influence the cultural growth of the state. Is this the direction in which we want to grow?
