Here is my brief analysis of the Bills stadium improvements situation.
Buffalo Bills Payroll $100,000,000
NYS Income Tax 5%
Annual total. $5,000,000
73,000 seats x 10 games x $60ave ticket price = $43,800,000
NYS Sales Tax 8.75%
Annual total $3,832,500
Total annual tax revenues $8,832,500
15 years X $8,832,500
Total of tax revenues over 15 years
$132,487,500
NYS issues a 15 year bond for improvements in exchange for a 15 year unbreakable lease with the elimination of the Toronto game.
Tax revenues more than pay for the cost of improvements plus interest.
Without the improvements the team is gone and so are the tax revenues.
This is a revenue neutral deal that could keep the team here after Ralph's passing
I also feel my figures are very conservative.
