The price tag for the Los Angeles Rams' new stadium continues to grow.

Per Daniel Kaplan of The Athletic, the Rams received a $500 million loan from the NFL on Tuesday in order to help with the construction of SoFi Stadium.

The half a billion-dollar loan is now on top of the already $400 million the franchise received from the NFL's stadium lending program. Usually, teams get 15 years to pay off the cost of the borrowed loans, but the Rams have requested that they get 30 years instead.

Cost overruns and slower-than-expected personal seat license sales played into the request, according to Kaplan. Also, all teams anticipate lost ticket revenue this season.

The stadium was expected to cost around 2.2 billion when the plan was approved in January of 2016. Already expected to be the most expensive stadium in the NFL, costs for the stadium have now reached approximately $5 billion. For comparison, the Las Vegas Raiders' Allegiant Stadium — which was recently completed with a total cost of $1.9 billion — was previously the most expensive venue in the league

The Rams will also share SoFi Stadium with their rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. And while the stadium was expected to open this summer, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could very well push back construction to an unspecified date.

On the field, the Rams took a step back after making the Super Bowl in 2019. By the end of the season, the LA team found themselves with a 9-7 overall record, placing them in third place in the NFC West and outside the postseason for the first time in Sean McVay's three seasons as head coach.
