Price tag of stadium renovation expected to rise

The Arizona Board of Regents is expected to vote Friday on the third and final stage of construction on Sun Devil Stadium with the overall budget expected to rise by about $12 million, to $268 million.

The board's vote would clear the way for Arizona State University to issue bonds later this year to fund the final stage of an extensive renovation, which is expected to wrap up in time for the 2017 football season.

The school said in documents presented to the regents that unforeseen site conditions, such as a construction landfill discovered in the north end zone, have increased the cost.
