On the same day that David Basi and Bob Virk plead guilty in the BC Rail Corruption trial, news is coming out that the renovated BC Place stadium will become the eighth priciest sports stadium in North America and the 13th most costly venue in the world. The BC Place stadium’s 13th place ranking is out of 12,000 venues.

Total cost for the stadium will be approximately $835 million. Of course that figure does include the original 1983 construction costs of $272 million.
