the actual Wembley Stadium cost is now thought to be around £750 million or more, including the improved tranport links. a quote from the Wembley website
All the build costs have been independently reviewed and found to represent value for money.
yeah, right...
bolder>> apparently this is why:
How do these costs breakdown?
The purchase of the land and early design fees cost £120 million.
The basic cost of building the stadium is £352 million
Demolishing the old stadium and fitting out the new will cost £99 million.
The contribution to local infrastructure improvements is £21 million.
Financing the project, management and other costs amount to £165 million.
that's [nope]ing ridiculous, to be fair. and Sport England have put £120million of lottery money into this project. you could build a whole new stadium for that...
