Just for the sake of sharing. If we're considering the real value of $1.8 billion in terms of building costs...
From Wikipedia:
Quote:
AT&T Stadium, formerly known as Cowboys Stadium, is a city-owned 101,000-seat capacity[1] stadium with a retractable roof in Arlington, Texas, United States. It serves as the home of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL).

Quote:
Originally estimated to cost $650 million, the stadium's current construction cost was $1.15 billion,[23] making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built.

Not a comparison, because the starting points are different, but still, $1.1B USD is an outrageous sum of money for a sports stadium. Makes $1.8B difficult to grasp.
