Falcons New Stadium Half Billion Over Budget

[jonathanlambert33]

Construction projects often go over budget. But not usually by 50 percent.

Thats what has happened in Atlanta, where the projected cost of the teams new stadium have increased from $1 billion to $1.5 billion.

The news came not through any formal announcement, but via comments from owner Arthur Blank during a panel discussion at the Rotary Club of Atlanta, per the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Blank referred to the project as a 1.5 billion stadium during the panel discussion, and Blank confirmed after the panel discussion that, indeed, the stadium has increased once again in expense.

Its unclear why the costs keep going up, or whether Blank will hold anyone responsible for it with their jobs. Maybe theyll find a way to pin this one on the original Roddy White.

Those ticket prices are about to become outrageous. That new stadium will be a ghost town.

What did they do, install 10000 expensive light fixtures instead of 10?
