towson2006 9 Report post Posted February 3, 2018 I very much dislike some of the intellectual dishonesty going on in this article. SECU Arena has not boosted attendance...it's the same as it always has been when the team is good people go and when it isn't they don't. In fact Gary Neale's team in the Towson Center outdrew the second or third year in SECU squad. I suppose the notion that the USM Chancellor blew $78 million on a stadium that doesn't have locker rooms, and costs thousands in overtime dollars because we chose not to have a push button for the seats to retract doesn't make for good Baltimore Sun copy though.

towson2006 9 Report post Posted February 3, 2018 “The money came from four places,” Dodson-Reed wrote in an email. “Savings over the years to prepare for this need, a contribution from the University System of Maryland, sponsorships and gifts, and the remainder (the bulk of it) was borrowed.” The school did not raise tuition to pay for the building, she said. Also this quote is nonsense, how they going to pay back what they borrowed? Student fees. So technically tuition doesn't go up, but the students will still have to pay via a mandatory fee for auxiliary services. We still have 25 years of loans to pay off the $56.5 we borrowed for SECU.
