Atlanta Falcons stadium

The price of a new stadium for the Atlanta Falcons is rising again.

According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Falcons owner Arthur Blank says the stadium will cost one and a half billion dollars to complete. That amount is 100 million more than the most recent estimate and a half a billion more than when the stadium was first announced.

Representatives for Blank say the most recent hike is due to increased financing costs. The stadium is scheduled to open in 2017. It will be the home of the Falcons and Atlanta’s new Major League Soccer Team.
