Now instead of ~$350M from the initial deal the city is on the hook for $500M+.

I'll be honest spending $1.2B and not getting a new stadium out of it too kind of stings. I would love to see if they could get something similar to Juventus stadium that was posted for around $300M.

I've been to that stadium and it's not fancy but was super practical and was a good stadium.
It's very clear that this isn't what occurred.
