Stadium 路 United States

How much did Caesars Superdome cost to build?

Caesars Superdome, opened as the Louisiana Superdome, is the domed stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, begun in mid-1971 and opened to the public on 3 August 1975, financed by a 4 percent hotel and motel tax, with a football capacity of 73,208 after later changes. The Historic New Orleans Collection and the Society for American Baseball Research both give a final cost of 163 million dollars, the SABR entry saying it included financing and administrative costs, while Wikipedia's infobox gives 134 million.
