I wonder how much $$$ Game of Thrones author George RR Martin contributed to this NU project?

I would guess that Stephen Colbert probably kicked-in some dough too.

This is the kind of stuff you can do when a single donor ponies up $40 million. In total 5 donors contributed a whopping $83 million toward the project.

No big deal. We are looking at getting more port-a-Johns donated for outside the stadium.
