Football is the most popular sport in the world with 4 billion fans globally, and has evolved to be business ventures with state-of-the-art stadiums.

In this piece, we will examine a few of the most expensive football stadiums ever built in the modern age, from the SoFi in California to Wembley Stadium in the United Kingdom, costing billions of dollars.

SoFi Stadium is not only the most expensive stadium in the world, but stands as one of the first indoor-outdoor stadiums to be built.

The SoFi Stadium also sits at the heart of a 298-acre development for entertainment, retail,  commercial, and recreational space in the area.

Apart from being a sports’ venue, it also doubles as a setting for entertainment events, including concerts and shows.

It took six years and at least $5 billion to build this phenomenal stadium, which spans 3.1 million square feet.

Its design honors the “curves” seen along the California coast, which is complimented with its asymmetrical, transparent roof and open-concept stadium sides.
