Temple proposed the on-campus stadium as a way to reclaim fees paid to use Lincoln Financial Field and to boost the football program's national profile. The $130 million stadium, which would include classroom, retail, and event space, would be paid for through fund-raising and bonds backed by money that would otherwise go toward rent at the Linc. The school pays $1 million a year to use the stadium, but rent could go up to $2 million a year (plus $12 million up front) if Temple signed another lease with the Eagles.
