. . . the wording in the original deed of gift from ca. 1888.
The key words is that the property is for the primary use of veterans. So the judge is saying the burden of proof is on the VA and UCLA to demonstrate that the facility is at least 51% for veterans use. At least that's the reasoning he used in regard to the prep school. I don't think allowing vets to purchase free tickets fits the judge's criterion unless the vets make up 51% of the fans in attendance.
We may have to pay vets to attend our games!
Realistically, I think our only chance to keep the stadium is to turn it into some sort of dual-use facility that the veterans can use in the off-season. There's an adjacent parking lot. Maybe it can be moved underground with some sort of structure built on top.
