Really...so we cant get a permanent stadium for half the size and about 3/4 of the $$$...i MEAN COME ON!!!

 

The first 8 pics (takes a while to load once you click on each pic)show the site that will start with nothing and end up 26k or so for 14.4 million dollars CAN

Further research shows that Nussli of Switzerland built the stadium. Basically you rent the parts from them and they construct it. The kicker: you can make the rental permanent at once...or phases. I think that is what we have been hearing for the past year. It cost $518 per seat in Vancouver.

 

So...why not go get a "rental/perman" for a phased in plan with these guys...giving them a multi-year contract for a locked in stepped price format, plus options (3 year phase, 2 year option) at the following:

 

Year 1- Perm and Temp= $5.4mm in total spending

5,000 permanent seats at around $850 per seat (with press box and coaching boxes...plus 8 suites)= $4.2mm

2,000 temp seats= $1.2mm

 

Year 2- Swap and temp= $2.5mm total spending

2.000 permanent seats in end zone= $1.7mm

2,000 temp seats stay (at discount rate of 400 per seat)= $800,000

 

Year 3- Swap and temp= $5mm total spending

5,000 permanent seats= $4.2mm

2,000 temp seats (at discount rate)= $800,000

 

Year 4- Option= $1.6mm

Removal of 2000 temp seats= no cost (included in above)

 

or

 

make 2000 temp seats permanent= $1.6mm

 

 

 

Year 5- Option

 

Add more seats

 

Approx Total Spending= 14-20mm over 5 years (you still need bathrooms and concessions). All likely could be done for 3mm or less). Lights and a Bose PA system are included!!! I actually think my costs are higher than what could be negotiated.

 

Approx Perm Stadium Size= 14,000 seats

 

The kicker...these stadiums are designed to go right over the existing track/ground. Local work would be limited. Additionally, you likely will secure the funding from big donors and a sponsor (stadium name) with a plan like this in place. Get a company to sponsor the stadium name for about 5mm over 10 years, take some depreciation write-offs, get 1mm from the City of Albany, get $4mm in private donations (doable) and and 10-15mm from the State Capital fund (discussed by others) and there you go. And the entire thing is "GREEN"; Totally reusable products.

Google: Nussli and Brita Arena (they built the size we want in Germany for a 2nd Bundesliga team...13,000 seats...a "permanent" temp facility.

 

Also, 10,500 seat stadium in Libya (five months). http://www.nussli.com/uploads/media/200908_FC_Business_Modular_stadia_construction_EN_BER.pdf
