Lot of positives

Granted maintenance costs are likely to be less although I personally don't buy the figures Nelmsy likes to throw about regarding Dens costs. I'd imagine rent will be considerably higher than it currently is though - you don't move to a better place and expect to pay less.

If this ever comes off, and I'll be skeptical until I actually see a ball kicked in it by a Dundee FC player, the club might well have higher income and lower costs. But realistically how many more fans will it bring in to increase the income? You mention increased income from hospitality - is the customer base really there for it though?

I think it might be there if facilities are better, and they surely have to be, Dens hospitality has to be near to being they worst in the premier league

There will be a novelty factor when the new stadium opens but that will soon fall away.
When Meadowbank Thistle FC played their first home game in the Meadowbank Stadium it was a sellout 5,000 attendance but by the end of that season the number of people attending Medowbank Thistle home games had fallen dramatically to from memory about 500.
That is why Meadowbank Thistle moved to Livingston and changed their name to Livingston FC.
