This just blows my mind. 2-3x the cost. Grabbed from article linked below;
The estimated final cost of the stadium, which includes a retail and entertainment district, has ballooned to somewhere between $5 billion and $6 billion, according to Kaplan.
Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, which also remains under construction, is the second-most expensive stadium in league history at $1.9 billion.

Not surprised. The cost of construction in Cali is painful starting from the approvals process and regulations and their associated fees on to the competition on labor where the shortage leads to higher pay. My family still do a ton of contracting and building in Cali (mostly up north near Sacramento now) and have been talking about leaving the state for that reason but there's a ton of them all in the same area so they're still there passing on the costs to the consumers like all the other builders are right now.
Stan is doing what any builder has to do, which is absorb the costs. It sucks, and it's also why nobody was in a hurry to solve LA's stadium crisis. I seriously doubt anyone in the league's offices or the owners themselves are surprised by this either tbh.
And the sad thing is Nevada is trending that route very quickly too. I'm really glad I got out of there when I did even if I do miss everything being open all night and marijuana delivery to your door. But I can still fly out and see the kid and get my fix when I need it so it's all good.
