“The Rams countered with a more elaborate proposal which was estimated to cost somewhere in the range of $700 million” For that price, they ought to be able to demolish the old one and build from scratch. Atlanta’s going to run over a $billion, but that includes buying off a couple of black churches so it could be built in the ‘hood. And Jerryworld went that high because they had to build it big enough to hold his ego.
What’s interesting is that businesses, hotels, restaurants down around the stadium say that they make more money from events they hold at the stadium when the Rams are out of town.
They won’t miss them.
