The bigger issue is that the stadium rebuild got tied up in frivolous lawsuits from the city and NIMBY neighborhood groups that took way too long to resolve. The university probably should have just steamrolled on past that stuff, but it's not their way. If that stadium had ACTUALLY been built in 2007 or 2008 then maybe the Tedford momentum is maintained. Instead it happened right at the start of his decline.
