The cost to build started at $382 million dollars, the club only offered $90million leaving taxes to cover the rest. The stadium plans were presented in 1995 when a long financial dispute prolonged the construction until the next year. Miller brewing company&#8217;s contract to sponsor the stadium runs dry in 2020 but plans to renegotiate\u00a0look promising. Ironically, for a measly $2.1 million dollars per year Miller sponsors the stadium with the most yearly beer sales.
