it’s those solid gold buffaloes in front of the main gate!!!  They should really downgrade to copper.

Then how come a more expensive stadium in Nashville only rose 100 mill?

Aren’t they a year behind in the build process?  The overruns will only grow

While that may be true, wouldn't inflation still be just as prevalent and the increase due to that should be somewhat proportional no? That discrepancy is def something other than that imo

may be that the reporting of the numbers and figures are lagging a bit on the Titans new stadium build.  Who knows

Agree who knows but this is what we do know so far:

 

Original 1.4 is now 2.1 for bills

 

Original 2.1 is now 2.2 for titans

Oh I forgot that the original estimate was that much higher for the Titans’ new place, also.

Different items bought different times and sometimes builders sign contracts with suppliers for future items and pay ahead of time to freeze costs.

 

When I did my kitchen I told them I could only do it in spring time since I'd have to take most of items out of kitchen while they were working. When went to do installation I got notice prices on items went up 40% from manufacturer and I needed to prepay increase in cost - I told they I fully paid for it last year (6 months ago) and there is no clause in contract allowing them to raise prices due to costs and no clause allowing them to cancel contract due to price rises.  Took a few levels but eventually they honored contract.   When you do that sometimes you can get blacklisted but since I do not ever plan on buying a new kitchen I do not care.
