General rule of thumb unless you were building something like Tottenham's ground was around £1k per seat so 20k stadium = £20m
Would imagine it's considerably cheaper if you have terraced areas like Saints/Wire which I'd prefer
Saints stadium was £25m all in (backed up by Wikipedia), with an extra 500k or so on top for cladding-gate on top, and an unknown cost for playing in Widnes for a year. The harder thing to calculate his how much effort from the management team went into the stadium over on field management. There’s no doubt the team suffered during the construction (as Leeds are experiencing at the moment) and probably cost us being really competitive in the years immediately after the construction (we were picking up again in 2014, but then KC happened…)
Of course Saints had the sale of Knowsley Road, major buy in from the Council and a major supermarket on board as it was a time of expansion for them. The more complex the finance, the more overall cost likely to be incurred. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were closer to £30m if we tried to do it now. (Closing in on £1.5-2k per seat)
