How much did the renovation of Tiger Stadium cost?
Tiger Stadium, nicknamed Death Valley, is Louisiana State University's football stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a capacity of 102,321. It opened on 25 November 1924 with 12,000 seats in the East and West stands, grew to 22,000 in 1931 and 46,000 in 1936 when the north end zone made it a horseshoe (a USD 1,816,210.58 project), closed into a bowl in 1953 and was expanded again in 1978, 2000, 2005 (the USD 60 million west upper deck) and 2014 (the privately funded south end zone). Wikipedia puts the cumulative cost of renovations and expansions at USD 183 million, with no cost known for the original 1924 stadium.
