Investors Group Field in Winnipeg cost $210 million. The new stadium in Regina has a budget of $278 million.

Rogers Place in Edmonton has a budget of $480 million for the arena itself, and a total budget just over $600 million for the entire Arena District project.

Building both an arena and stadium in the same area at the same time should be somewhat cheaper than building two projects separately. Also, before any construction can begin in the area (whether an arena project or anything else), there needs to be a significant environmental cleanup of the area and likely infrastructure work on Bow Trail and 14th Street. Those projects could be budgeted separately from the arena and stadium themselves.
