ACT sports teams concerned over $1.34-$1.869 billion price tag for new stadium at Bruce.
The Canberra Raiders and ACT Brumbies will seek clarity on the future of a new stadium in the capital after the ACT government's latest cost estimates revealed a price tag of between $1.34-$1.869 billion for the preferred option.
Brumbies chief executive Phil Thomson conceded he was "staggered" by the new figures while rugby league counterpart Don Furner said the price increase was at odds with other stadiums around the country.
The government says the baseline cost of building a new stadium somewhere on a 25 hectare site at Bruce will cost between $303-$511 million if it sticks to its timeline to have it complete by the early 2030s.
