It’s only money.

You can’t take it with you.

What’s money for if you can’t spend it?

A billion here, a billion there, and soon you are talking real money.

The above article is a bit disingenuous, eh? More info, that explains A LOT, in this one...

Part of that cost will be the tiger and lion pits for when Christians are rounded up.

All for a few freakin football games and perhaps concerts thrown in. Rams could have played at the very functional LA Coliseum and kept ticket prices lower. If I rent a car at LAX am I forced to pay a stadium extortion fee tax?

That’d almost buy you an aircraft carrier.

Well, it does say the costs “pass $4 billion” and eventually gets to reporting the $5 billion cost. Typical day in the fake news sphere.

FWIW, I was more interested in what was going to be on site. :-)

True. But then again, all of the crony capitalists would not have made a bunch of money from the taxpayers and fans.

They sure did ST. Louis a favor by moving back.

Even a 4 billion stadium won’t fill seats for the Rams.

SBJ said the most expensive stadium previous to this was MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and that cost $1.7 billion.

Does that include the destruction of the superior stadium it replaced?

ML/NJ

What will they use it for when the BLM/NFL thug league goes belly up?

Considering the NFL is a dying league and football will be pretty much dead within 20 years, spending this much money on a Stadium makes perfect sense if you are insane.

Someone is insane.

Any monetary investment in an NFL football franchise, at this point in history, is a loser, for several reasons.

Wistfully and nostalgically sorry to say it, but that's just the way it is.

I’d take a gator freighter and use the rest of the money for maintenance and repair.
