Olympic Stadium and SkyDome's legacy lives on.
Governments are so loath to be seen as spending excessive money that they do the cheap-out thing, or offer very rigid fixed-price contracts. This is in contrast to those stadiums' relatively free-spending, but politically costly budgets.
Some of this is transparency at work too, as the squabbles over money end up in court.
