I don't think so. UMass football fans are generally fans of the hoops program as well and would have been upset with trading the A10 for the MAC. They are in a tough spot. They need to man up and get the stadium situation taken care of.

You nailed it with every word of this post. Missed out on one key thing though:

Stadium renovations won't cut it - there needs to be additional infrastructure around the stadium for parking and just plainly making it easier to get to the stadium. There is one single lane road that leads to the stadium from off campus, another that leads to it from campus, and then what amounts to a dirt road to get behind the stadium for additional parking.
