Expected Cost Of Chargers Stadium Doubled

A new
stadium for the San Diego Chargers will cost more than first expected, 10News
reported.

The
expected cost of the building of a new stadium in

San Diego has risen to more than $800
million, double the original estimate, according to city and county officials.

Since
2002, when the team proposed the new stadium in

Mission
Valley,
the cost of materials, higher demand for construction contractors and higher
insurance costs have driven up the price, according to officials.

Team
officials said they were still committed to building the new stadium.
