The Lego Stadium That will’ve Cost Around $75,000 To Build [Lego]

Meet Paul. The physiology professor is an avid fan of the Ohio Stadium , and like the German Lego stadium-builder from a couple of years back , he used over a million bricks to create the 1:100 scale build over two years.

Measuring 2.4m by 1.8m, Paul got a lot of the bricks through second-hand traders’ sites, but if he’d bought them brand-new, they’d've cost him up to $75,000, he reckons. In case you’re wondering what a man might be able to do with a 1:100 scale model of a stadium, listen up: Paul plans to position it to good use on his university’s campus, using it to fundraise for heart failure and muscular dystrophy research. As the stadium can hold 6,000 Lego people, which may be 6,000 charitable people represented. [ Dispatch via Sportress of Blogitude - Thanks, Kris !]
