How much did Pratt & Whitney Stadium cost to build?
Pratt and Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field is a 38,066-seat football stadium in East Hartford, Connecticut, owned by the State of Connecticut and home of UConn football, opened on 30 August 2003 when the Huskies beat Indiana 34-10. College Gridirons and Wikipedia both give its cost as USD 91.2 million, though the start of construction is dated October 2000 in one source and November 2001 in the other, and a Connecticut Post headline calls it a USD 92 million field of nightmares.
