The Jaguars are responsible for any cost overruns. 

AND, it comes with a new 30 year lease. 

The only thing that I am wondering about is the mirrored roof, and whether that will cause a reflection that blinds drivers going over the Matthews Bridge.

I don't think it can be mirrored. You have planes, ships, roads, fans standing around, etc. Unless they ensure the angle and reflection will not go into the sky or hit anything on land, and not focus the beam, they could be liable for causing accidents.
