Powers' eminence aside, I don't think that Pusey had a pistol at his disposal. It's true that we'd be better off without the traffic, but it won't kill us either. And maybe Harvard officials would ?? become best friends with Patriot coach Clive Rush, but even if he did choos to insult us, I think we'd survive. Pusey didn't cite problems of cooperation ?s one of the reasons he didn't want the Patriots around, but it was probably ?ne of his considerations...
Pusey also argues that the activity which would occur at Soldiers' Field on days when the Patriots played there would interfere with our intramural program.

Building a new stadium is an expensive proposition-from 830 to 850 million by various estimates-and virtually all of the proposals for a stadium admit that it cannot pay its own way. A deficit would have to be financed...
