Per Sal Capaccio the Bills current lease at high mark just extended

[Mickey]

I faxed my approval to the league office and received a prompt reply of "How did you get this number?". Ha! The staff is always kidding me like that, once they even had a fake restraining order served on me. They went all out, it looked totally real.

allegedly there was a protracted debate about whether to laminate the lease to protect it from the elements, but ultimately they opted to save the cost and keep an open air document 

Figures.... Weather be darned.

But, they’ll probably have to execute a drawn out environmental study before the first shovel of dirt is thrown. 

For someone living in Atlanta, it’s astounding to me how slowly progress is made in NYS. The layers of bureaucracy is mind-boggling.
When there was talk of building a new stadium for the Falcons, they got the ball rolling and 3 years later they were playing in the Georgia Dome. 

20+ years later, did it again and built Mercedes Benz Stadium. 
The Bills and league have been talking new stadium since Doug Flutie and the stadium rehab of early 2000’s. 
As far as the new stadium goes…I’ll believe it when I see it. 
BTW- how’s that new Peace Bridge project coming along? 

Believe it when you see it?? I guess you better believe it since they just confirmed the deal is done by signing a lease extension on highmark and the 30 year lease for the new stadium.

I was being facetious. I'm fairly sure it's happening. Just skeptical of what other agents or other issues that may delay the 2026 opening. Understand, I've been hearing 'new stadium' for over 20 years. Starting to feel like Linus every year, waiting for the Great Pumpkin who never arrives.

 

The fact that it will take nearly 4 years the build is what surprised me.  The empire state building was completed in 13 months over 90 years ago.

I think the Bills would’ve been in their new stadium already if Cuomo didn’t put the new stadium on the back burner for so long. I think the Pegulas wanted the stadium earlier and Cuomo kept putting it off.

I'm thankful for this, I'd hate to see the team evicted.

Is there a giant statue of Goodell on the document for fans to jump off of into tables?

 

They are going to name the tables Goodell and Jerry Jones.

Yeah, for the longest time they couldn't find their wallet to pay the lease.

Thankfully they had that change in the couch

I was hoping they’d get evicted and have to play their home games at Pioneer Central until the new stadium is built.

straightforward lease signings are news!  

 

More proof the NFL owns the news cycle...
