Breaking; It's hard to build a stadium anywhere

Cal's proposed $125 million renovation of its football stadium had been blocked by a judge in Berkeley. The city's objections to the plan centered on safety, specifically that's it's a bad idea to build along a fault line even if you've done seismic surveys. The injunction means Cal can't start work until after a trial this summer. That effectively moves everything back a year. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the year delay will cost the school an extra $8 to 10 million in construction costs. UCD's $30M stadium was delayed two years, once by the regents and once by Mother Nature. The price tag never changed on the stadium, so the increased costs will show up in what isn't there, such as more seats and stadium lights.
