DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Although practices start in a month and tickets are already on sale, Bethune-Cookman University's football team still doesn't have an agreement with the city to use Municipal Stadium this fall for games.
The two high schools that use the city-owned stadium for their home games, Mainland and Seabreeze, finalized agreements this week that will end a three-year limbo period for their use of the stadium. But Bethune-Cookman, which has its first home game scheduled for Sept. 22, is still negotiating with the city over fees to use the 10,000-seat facility.
"We're having frank discussions," said Lynn Thompson, Bethune-Cookman's athletic director. "At this point we've had a couple of meetings. We want to put this behind us."
The city proposed a $3 per ticket surcharge, the same proposal that was rejected last year, and Bethune-Cookman said no again.
"We're waiting for a response," Thompson said. "We want a figure and a process that works for everybody."
