Why are stadiums so expensive to build?

I work in building construction and this video was a great explainer. It’s not just football stadiums. Every building has become more and more complex because of better interior MEPT systems, making the cost per square foot of buildings skyrocket.

Even renovating an already existing stadium could cost up to a billion such as the case with Camp Nou. That’s ridiculous

A question no one asked. I mean why is any large engineering and construction project “expensive”?

Maybe it’s the American bias but £1 billion does not seem a lot..

Raiders stadium (Vegas) was at $2 billion and Rams (Los Angeles) was almost $5 billion


That Selhurst park stand seems like a bargain

This is why United need Qatar

Brentford’s new stadium cost less than half of a stand 🤯

Jeeeez

I worked on a stadium design for my architectural thesis, I rightly called it a professional football club complex - a mixed use space with public spaces, a museum, an E-sports arena, pay to play are, flex office and retail spaces. This was to rethink how a stadium works, to avoid the death of a stadium ( happens to many sporting venues after WC, Olympics etc) stadium have to be used on a day to day basis.
Now I’m in real estate development and hoping I get to develop a stadium one day 😂

So this is why the team that I support doesn't have a stadium, at least we were dominating in the last seasons, we did win a title in 2023? No, but 2024 will be awesome ⚫️🔴.

🤦‍♂️ wrong as always on the cost of Tottenham stadium, it wasn't £1 billion, it cost £450million the whole project (including hotels) cost £1billion.

Another cost sometimes depends on where the team wants to build the stadium. The denser the area, the more public consultations, impact studies, councils to get approval from, etc.

Because most involved are rife with corruption.

The stadium has always been costly to make.
I remember my city Bengaluru in india had a football stadium that was supposed to have 90,000+ capacity stadium and when fifa president joao havelenge visited in 1971 he was impressed with the development and promised to bring a south American team to play in Bengaluru. But later the cost skyrocketed and in the end they had to settle for around 60k and it was absolutely horrible in design.
Now it went to 4,000 today and is going to be demolished in a few months for a new stadium which will be at the capacity of 40,000.

Quiet as it's kept, this whole trend began with the opening of Camden Yards in Baltimore in 1992. The idea of a stadium as a destination in and of itself (and as the central focus of a downtown) was first use-tested with that facility. Since then, it's only accelerated. There's a reason why we Americans have more stadiums than anywhere in the world. Heck, we have universities with bigger stadiums than some nations' national stadium (Michigan, Penn State, etc). Nowadays, a veritable shopping mall with world class dining are standard features of new stadiums. Once you turn your stadium into a moneyspinner, it can be so year round (conventions, concerts, etc). I'm actually looking forward to the development of new ways of protecting/developing the playing surface while still maintaining its multi-use status (like State Farm stadium with the field on tracks).

Chelsea have been planning for years, is the new stadium even a possibility at this point?

Tifo next video : Why players rest when they are tired ?

Not a new stadium but Leicester are upgrading one of the stands and also building an arena, hotel and redoing the area.

Greedy construction companies, the same ones willing to cut corners as seen with the THS.

Yeah if you look at stadium MK that’s got a Hilton hotel in the main stand

PSG: biggest match day turnover?!? Is that the Arab tourists paying €100,000 per seat?

This video should be like ten seconds "have you seen a stadium."

because tax payers pay for them.

Because the building companies get greedier every year!

So greed and factors having nothing to do with the game. If i want a 3 course meal ill go to a restaurant. Absolute garbage. Restaurant stadiums with the atmosphere of a playground easter party.

Now I know why Daniel Levy always smiling.

اللهم صل علي محمد

Corruption in the building industry

One word: Graft.

Do a video about why only Epl clubs can afford to build stadiums while other leagues struggle.

Why didn't you mention Everton's new stadium 😢

Bling, bling

A few days ago I requested for a quote to put floor and bathroom tiles in my little house. The figures I got means I'll need another year to save up for that

what's "M&E kit"?
