NoDo Stadium Update

You may need to sit down for this:

In an article that will apparently appear in the Sunday OWH (it's online...I'm not breaking news), the NoDo Stadium will, shockingly, cost more than the $50 million first reported by the city government. Wow, didn't see that one coming. The cost of building the new stadium is now almost twice as much as renovating Rosenblatt. But a point worth bringing up is that tearing down Rosenblatt means expansion of the Henry Doorly Zoo. I'm not sure the exact numbers, but you would have to think the Zoo brings in more money during the year than the CWS does during it's two week (Royals profit??? Yeah right.).
