I’m going to be completely honest. I think all of the hype surrounding building a new stadium is unneeded. Yes, the venue is a big part of the experience that comes along with going to a football game. However, I feel like the increasing demand for the “newest,” “most expensive” and “most luxury” stadium is actually taking away from that football experience.
Since the Dallas Cowboys made the huge step to build a billion dollar venue in 2009, making them the first team to do so, a lot of teams have followed suit. Before that, the most expensive stadium was built by the Indianapolis Colts just a year before Jerry Jones took action.
