Stadium Building

When I made the switch from Baseball Mogul to OOTP last year, this was really the only feature I found lacking. Now, admittedly I have no background whatsoever in computer coding or programming, so I don't have any idea how difficult this is to implement, but I believe a number of folks would be pleased at its inclusion.

Mogul handles this by not having a cash maximum and the stadium is paid for all in one lump sum. By many accounts, allowing the AI to have a big chunk of cash like that leads to wonky behavior. My idea, inspired by how stadium building has been handled in some online leagues I'm a part of, is to allow the cost of the stadium be arranged like a contract, just like you would make with a player or a coach. Would a similar negotiation screen be possible? Except, of course, you would have to pay the full cost of construction, but you could customize the costs for each year.

I don't expect this is something the AI can handle right now, but it would make a nice, small addition for us humans if it was simple enough to do.
