>>149449110 (OP)One billion for โonlyโ 52,000 seats is definitely a suspiciously high amount of money. Especially since it likely wonโt be a super-modern consooooom temple full of expensive gimmicks like the Tottenham Stadium or the newer NFL stadiums. For a stadium like this new Serbian one, 200 to 250 million should be doable, maybe 300. But 1000 is unheard of unless they come up with something special, youโd normally expect a significantly larger stadium with excellent facilities for that price
I donโt really get the concept of national stadiums anyway tbqh. A stadium always has maintenance costs and can only bring money if it is used regularly. They will need to host many concerts etc there to make up for the lack of regular game usage, even if the national team plays there and the cup final is held there. Older stadiums with established landmark status have an advantage here, they get tourists because of their history. Also, having your national team only play in a single stadium seems kind of against the idea of a national team representing an entire country, I donโt think it is that attractive for many people across the country
