Change orders add almost $200M to Falcons stadium cost

The Falcons have ordered about $200 million worth of changes on the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, half of it last month, according to a report prepared by a state agency.

The latest project status report by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority disclosed that the Falcons organization “has issued change orders” to general contractor Holder Hunt Russell Moody “in the cumulative amount of $199.5 (million) for various scope changes.”

The report, obtained Friday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, said that with the latest changes the “total project cost is projected to be $1.5 (billion).”

The changes don’t affect the amount of taxpayer money in the project.
