(Or perhaps more accurately, didn't want to pay for it). See attached article. Administration didn't think they could build a stadium without raising fees, and students voted 2-1 against a fee increase. Non-binding, but Chancellor Murphy went along with it - with the money they had available, they were able to build Drake Stadium.
The neighbors were also opposed, but I don't really think that had much to do with the final decision.
