Also that if the stadium were to be built like the rendering depicted earlier in 2013 it would have been around double the original budget not 278M. So I would expect a stadium that is similar to Winnipeg's.

I do not believe it could be anywhere near that high. Plus every project including IGF has site prep and consultants fees built into its cost. the original 2010 dome design had these cost estimates:
Construction cost $319.6 million
Furniture, fixtures and equipment: 10.8 million
Land, consulting and fit-out costs: 60.8 million
PST remission credit ($5 million)
Total facility cost: $386.2 million
So about 16%. $11 million was for storm sewer issues. I am not sure the new site has those problems. Also "fit-out" is really part of the facility - TV's, amenities, art, furniture, garbage cans and so on. Architects alone can be 7%
