Every sports team wants the newest stadium with lots of suites and all the extras. The Pats were the exception when they built Gillette Stadium as it was privately financed.
The Bills are the latest to make noise about a new stadium by threatening to move. This immediately got the attention of elected officials.
There is a proposal to have a new one ready by 2027 that will have have 60,000 seats and dozens of suites. The $1.6 billion cost will be shared between the team and public.
What will Buffalo and the state of New York get out of this? Any type of public funding for a stadium or arena is a future burden for taxpayers.
The project will never be built for $1.6 billion. The cost will be much higher.
