Bills' New Stadium Costs Balloon to $2.1 Billion
$560 Million Over Initial Estimate, Team Tells AP
The Buffalo Bills' new stadium will now cost $2.1 billion to build, $560 million more than the original estimate, the team told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
The increase is due to several factors, including inflation, supply chain issues, and the rising cost of labor.
The Bills are still on track to open the new stadium in 2026, but the increased cost will put a strain on the team's finances.
Here are some additional details about the new stadium:
- It will be located in Orchard Park, New York, next to the Bills' current stadium.
- It will have a capacity of 62,500 seats.
- It will feature a retractable roof.
- It will be the most expensive stadium in the NFL.
The Bills are hoping that the new stadium will help them attract more fans and generate more revenue.
However, the increased cost of the stadium could make it difficult for the Bills to turn a profit in the future.
