Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 5000354, member: 71"] Likely more than tripled. Concrete (a massive part of the construction costs) doubled from 2000-2010; doubled again from 2010-2019 and nearly doubled again from 2019 until now (last one primarily due to a combnation COVID limiting supply lines and thhe current inflationary environment). What would concern me most would be the site prep. The Rent was relatively affordable in large part due to the land being donated. While an on campus football stadium likely would be built on school owned land (no additional costs for land acquisition), there are a number of areas with wetland concerns in and around the campus. Site prep to stabilize the land base for a stadium and also prevent the possibility of contaminating the surrounding water table with runoff could easily run tens of millions of dollars before any construction begins.
