That's billion with a big, old capital B
The Los Angeles Rams are currently engaging in one of the more aggressive construction builds in modern sports history, erecting a palatial tribute to west coast football out in Inglewood, California.
The NFL also recently announced it would be moving its NFL Media headquarters to the facility, and rumblings persist about the combine being shipped out of Indianapolis to Los Angeles. In short, this facility is not going to be just a stadium: it's going to a complex and headquarters for a billion-dollar industry.
The price tag for that HQ is skyrocketing, according to a report from Seth Wickersham of ESPN. Wickersham reported that the NFL owners are expected to vote at the owners meetings in Florida to raise the debt limit for the stadium, thanks in large part to the price tag having risen almost to an absurd $5 billion.

OMG... it costs $5 billion to kneel?
Whatta price tag!
Five billion... well, that’s nothing compared to the cost of the bullet-train-to-nowhere. And I thought California was broke? Is all this money being raised privately?
A palace to social justice. I’m all warm inside.
OTOH, it will host two teams, the Rams and the Chargers.
$5 Billion palace...so the a bunch of idiot players can insult us by kneeling?
ain’t gonna patronize them anymore...! no way!
10 years, it will be a soccer stadium.
I think the 49ers stadium was around $1.5 billion, and the Cowboys stadium about $1.2??? In round numbers.
Vikings about a billion???
This new LA stadium will cost 4 to 5 times more than other recent stadiums??? What the heck is going on?? Lotsa Union labor at time and a half?? Gold plated bathroom fixtures??? Gold plated seats in the skyboxes????
The stadium is being built privately, but the developer is seeking significant tax breaks from Inglewood.
The original estimate was $2.6 billion.
Contractors going after a govt job:
Guy from Iowa I can do it for $10,000
Guy from Carolina I can do it for $12,000
Guy from NY are you letting the bid? yea
well I can do it for $110,000. $110,000?
Yea, $50,000 for you $50,000 for me and $10,000 for the guy from Iowa
Someone’s getting Rammed.
gotta watch to make sure its all the NLF’s money and that they don’t suck up tons of taxpayer funds into their over-priced palace in nowheresville
the city of Inglewood could probably afford to donate 69 cents
Wow so the NFL is consolidating it’s facilities because the NFL now realizes it can’t survive on 2 NFL teams alone. How
I see they have to have a 3 in 1 in deal to keep it afloat.
How pathetic it cannot survive on it’s own.
They’re moving the network there from Culver City. That will save them a lot of money over time.
Problem is that when Looniefornia goes down, which is inevitable, it will come to all federal taxpayers to bail it out.
The idiot Congress will acquiesce.
Yep they are consolidating facilities because they are losing money.
These facilities cannot stand up on their own over time.
From a Forbes article: The one piece of good news here is that the Hollywood Park venue is being privately funded. Taxpayers are not being asked to throw down on what is now going to be the most expensive project in the history of North American sports.
Essentially, this is a real estate project that just so happens to include an NFL stadium. Hence, the ridiculously high cost to erect. We’re looking at 900,000 square feet of retail space, 800,000 square feet of office space and 2,500 new residential units. Yeah, it’s a monster of a site.
Won’t be taxpayer funded and includes much more than just a stadium.
Where are the facilities for the homeless in that picture? And a place for the addicts to shoot up?
