The word today is another $700K is being put into acoustical changes after the debacle when the first concert revealed that concerts sound awful in a giant hollow box.

The purported funding for this uses $200K from the CIB and $500K from the concert promoter, and the CIB's money was 'in the original stadium budget (according to WISH-TV).

Didn't Jimmy Irsay say he was going to subsidize IHSAA's use of the LOS for the next 3 years?

Did he already know about this conflict? Or did he only include football in his offer?
