This thing will pay for itself considering most of the money is from Arthur Blank and the rest of the "public money" is all coming from hotel room tax. With NCAA Final Four, SEC Championship (every year), and now Superbowl 2019 - people will book the fuck out of some hotel rooms and pay off this bitch within the planned timeframe just like the Georgia Dome did.

Asset inflation

Everything costs more now but inflation statistics and trackers dont work for this kind of stuff because it tracks the prices of consumer goods and not large capital purchases. Same reason why housing, student loans, medical care, and just about everything else $10k+ in price is growing rapidly.
