£16,129 a seat  Eek

Some of the actual seats probably cost more than a grand by themselves.  It's a cracking stadium though.  I imagine a significant wedge went into the pitch design, which enables them to switch sports and the corporate areas, which is like going to a posh restaurant only High Street indoors.  All that posh stuff was counterbalanced by the Dortmund styles end and the facilities within the general concourses.

Inter Miami are spending that amount on a 25k seater over here.  It's more than just a stadium development though.  They are certainly not cheap these days.  The Intel cost a smidge over 1m when built.

Didn't Sofi stadium cost something like $6 billion to build.

Makes the $1 billion Jerry Jones spent building Jerry World look like a bargain Smiley

Cost of Oxford new stadium is a £100m budget

Got to get planning first mind, which they probably will im sure

I wouldn't be so sure, I'm really not sure, but even if they do I can't see it being a cheap (or more importantly for them as it stands) quick process!

I saw this the other day, the engineering that has gone into the pitch stuff at Spurs (and I think there is something similar at the Bernabeu now) is incredible!

The Spurs Stadium also has completely separate NFL changing rooms, from the football ones.  USA stadiums tend to be a bit flashy because they blackmail the City Councils for tax payer funding - their entire approach to professional sports is weird for a free market driven Country, and I don't stop telling anyone that will listen.

Yeah in Jacksonville the Jaguars have been threatening to leave I saw. Teams moving cities is appalling.

American Big League teams are franchises though- not inherantly linked to a particular city.

Take the Oakland Raiders, now the Las Vegas Raiders.

Gives some context to that opening episode of Season 2 of Welcome to Wrexham where two millionaires are going to the Tory goverment with the begging bowl for a new stand.

Brighton sold Caceido to Chelsea for 20 million more than it cost to build the Amex
