Now you tell us
The latest Wisconsin state audit of the Milwaukee Brewers' Miller Park shows a total construction cost of $413.9 million, slightly over the final approved budget, and getting close to double the original projected $250 million price tag. "I think what [some people] don't understand is that $250 million is your model home," insists Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball District director Mike Duckett. "Then you add the cost of the real estate agent, the lot purchase, the landscaping and all the paperwork, and by the time you add it all up, that $89,000 home might cost you $150,000." Well, at least the new stadium has been a whopping success, right? Right?
