New Puskas Stadium To Be Built From HUF 90-100bn

Budapest, June 26 (MTI) – The new Puskas Ferenc Stadium in Budapest is expected to be built from 90-100 billion forints in three years starting in 2015, government commissioner Laszlo Vigh said on Thursday.

“We targeted the price of the stadium to total 3-4,000 euros per seat, so in the current phase of planning, the total price is estimated at 90-100 billion forints,” he told commercial channel Sport TV.
