EL PASO — The Sun Bowl stands

university supporters say.
Among the events the university
has said “no” to are a World Gup
soccer qualifying match, a Rolling
Stones concert and a Minnesota Vi-
kings-San Diego Chargers exhibition
football game, The El Paso Times
reported Sunday.
El Paso voters passed a $1.75 mil
lion bond issue in 1960 to build the
stadium. But in return for donating
62.8 acres of land, the university got
a 99-year lease on the stadium at $1
a year. It has the option to renew the
lease for another 99 years.
The lease gives the university
complete control over the county-
owned stadium. It also subjects the
Sun Bowl to strict Xiniversity of
Texas System regulations that pro
hibit the use of its buildings for out
side profit.
“It is not right for a publicly
owned facility to be used for private
gain,” UTEP President Haskell
Monroe said in a written statement
to the Times.
That policy, which also applies to
the city’s largest indoor arena, the
university’s 12,()00-seat Special
Events Center, is keeping large-scale
entertainment and sports events out
of El Paso, say several frustrated
civic boosters.
The next largest arenas, the Civic
Center grand hall and the decrepit
county Coliseum, can hold only
about 8,000 people.
“There are a lot of big promoters
who won’t even consider the Col
iseum, and we have nothing larger,”
said Jean Kahn, chairwoman of the
Greater El Paso Civic, Convention
and Tourist Center. “Several groups
in El Paso want to bring in big con
certs, and they just haven’t been able
to do it.”
Sports promoters have the same
problem.
El Paso businessman John Kettle,
who headed a long-shot effort to
bring the United States Football
League’s San Antonio Gunslingers
to the Sun Bowl, contends the uni
versity could earn $1 million a year
through agressive use of the Sun
Funl
Bowl and Special Events Center *

said the money could help of[J
state-mandated cuts in the univer
ty’s budget.
The university’s budget coi
plaints “are akin to the little boy»i| I
c i ies wolf,” Kettle said. “They’re!
ling on their facilities. They con
generate a tremendous amount
money if they would onlyallowtl
to be used.
“And the irony is that the tax
ers have footed the bill for all tl
Kettle said.
