Building the 30,000-seat covered stadium will now cost up to $683 million – $150m more than the $533m budget.
If Christchurch city councillors push on with the current design, they will have to underwrite an extra $150m, taking their total contribution to $453m.
Some city councillors say it is time for neighbouring councils to offer a helping hand.
The stadium would be a regional facility and its economic benefits would go beyond Christchurch, a council spokesperson said.
Other Canterbury councils have been contacted about the latest cost blowout and the city council intends to hold further discussions before making a formal proposal, the spokesperson said.
One mooted method is a regional targeted rate, which could be administered by Environment Canterbury.

Oceania has always been about creating homes for people, not just bricks and mortar. As Desme explains, “Great care looks like home and family. Coming to The Oaks you get to be surrounded by staff who quickly become your friends, and whilst the clinical care is excellent, because we don’t look like a hospital or feel like a hospital or clinic, you sometimes don’t even realise how well cared for you are.”
