Football program is about 5% of the athletic budget, hardly a budget buster. If you don't like the program, fine, but it's here to stay.
I have stated many times before on here that I don't see the point of UD having football, but I also know (as you stated) that it's here to stay whether I like it or not.

And since it's here to stay I hope they simply keep playing at Welcome Stadium and UD finds other options to improve parking where the Marriot lot isn't needed anymore. Any of those options are most likely going to be less expensive than building a UD football stadium and wasting valuable land on the campus side of the river.
