It makes me wonder because whatever they are just building now will have to be torn up to put the stadium there if that is where it is going. Why would they build something there just to tear it up a few months later?

I'll keep watching it and see what happens there.

Oh. Maybe it's just a swimming pool instead of a lake, then. :p

Holding's did not become a billionaire because he is stupid!
That could very well be true. I think that would be a great place for a stadium. I hope that it all works out there. I would love to drive by it every day on my way to work as it is going up and then after it is finished. That would be simply spectacular.

I'm really hoping that they build the stadium there, but to be honest, I'll be happy with a stadium anywhere.

That's almost enough for season tickets for everyone in Utah! Too bad we don't have a 2 million seat stadium.

Although I also heard that the number might be a bit inflated since they haven't yet paid out tax returns for most people. So we might have to settle for mini-plans.
