Take a city with a expiring arena for example, im just going to say Chicago or something like that.

The city pays one part of it

You build an arena/Convention center type place so that the sports team (football basketball, colleges, hockey baseball etc) pay a part of it (I KNOW MY SPORTS, the alamodome in San Antonio can fit both a basketball court and a football stadium.)

and then you take money from private donors and orginizations like FIRST and etc. .

thats what im talking about

iit would cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 Million BUT lets say there is a nice enough city that pays $150 million or even $200 Million (Orlando is building a new $350 million dollar arena and the city is paying $150 Million and the county is paying another $75 Million). You combine state, federal and county grants to this arena and your already half the way there.

The Orlando magic made a bid of about $125 million for this new arena, if you do the same lets say for a all purpose stadium, then your good with it

FIRST would probably have to pitch over $10-$15 Million in my opinion to get the championship there as long as it likes.

now THATS what i was talking about

P.S. Let us design the arena, after all we are going to become the engineers of tomorrow right. so why not start on the arena of tomorrow with us?
