{Lexington, Kentucky}...Lexington Mayor Jim Gray said Monday he will ask for about $20 million from the General Assembly in the upcoming session to start working on potential changes to Rupp Arena. The Rupp Arena task force is considering replacing or renovating Rupp Arena. A consultant is expected to make a final recommendation in January. University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto says he won't get involved in asking for state funding for Rupp Arena because his priority is campus construction, and he can't support requests that compete with campus needs. The university is preparing to build a new dorm in the next year and has some $1 billion in construction needs on the aging campus.
