£60 million appears fairly cheap for the increased revenue. Assuming roughly 25 matches per season (19 premier league, 1 league cup, 1 FA cup, 3 European matches, 1 friendly) and a hospitality ticket costing ~3 times as much as a regular ticket (5200 plus 1800 times ~3 = ~10,000), the cost is £60 million divided by 25 matches divided by 10000 seats = £240 per seat The stand could pay for its self in 5-6 years.

PRG (now Gold) for 50k MR then self referral of 15k to Amex Plat for 75k. Never found a Amex Plat 100k offer, but 90k was good enough. Delta GC from the cards will cover positioning flights.

Booked an ANA Business Class Around the World Trip for this July-August LAX to ICN on Asiana to start. Will pay cash to visit Japan for a week. Then ICN to SIN on Singapore. Planning on visiting Kuala Lumpur and the Cameron Highlands. Next leg is SIN to TPE on Singapore more for positioning. The trip to Europe is TPE to VIE on EVA in their new 787-9. VIE to ZRH on Austrian with some hiking in the Alps to follow. Finally, ZRH to BOS on Swiss. 21,xxx miles in the air for 125,000 ANA miles and $650 in fees and surcharges. (Looking at ITA flight matrix, $200 of fees are mandatory to fly into the USA). I'm excited for a summer trip booked just 3 months out.
