Most Expensive Stadiums

Much like the race among nations to build tallest buildings, a very much similar scenario seems to be existing in building expensive stadiums.

Andrew Egan at Forbes writes about the most expensive stadiums in the world listing factors such as cost, their capacity and the purpose these arenas serve. The Wembley Stadium in London, which cost $1.5 billion and home to the English soccer team is currently the most expensive. Following Wembley, is an engineering marvel from 1970s, the Olympic Stadium in Montreal which is host to the 1976 Olympics. Third in the list is New York’s Madison Square Garden, which cost more than a billion way back in 1968.
