The bill is in for Christchurch's stadium and it comes with a promise it will not go up further.

The project has already faced a $150 million budget blowout. But Christchurch City Council says lead contractors have agreed to a fixed price of $683 million.

Most residents, given the change to have their say, were in favour regardless of the cost.

Tessa Guest and visual journalist Nate Mckinnon were at council to hear the details.
