cba fan Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Now reported the deal is for $1.54 billion and Pegs is responsible for the $140 million additional cost from the original of $1.4 billion. so we have cost overrun before one shovel is in the ground yet. lol. Considering the long construction timeframe, the volitivity of steel and supplies prices, some add ons these projects always get, and some inevitable construction cost surprises, you can bet this will approach 2 billion when done. Pegs is responsible for all cost overruns. I was widely criticized for harping on Pegs would end up paying over 50%, however, that is on track as we speak. NY state 600 mill Pegs/NFL 550 mill(250 mill is from NFL program Bills pd into for decades and will pay in for eternity. So is Pegs contribution. Bills actually eventually will pay more into this then they get out of it until next new stadium is built in Buffalo) Erie Co. 250 mill Pegs 50 mill for Highmark demo. cost o-run 140 million Pegs cost. so Pegs is paying $740 mill already. Almost 50% already. Edited April 7, 2023 by cba fan 1 1 1 Quote

You obviously missed the reason for the $140 Million extra cost. - Bigger canopy covering the fans - Enhanced electronics and amenities throughout the stadium to enhance the game day experience for the fans 8 1 5 Quote

For all we know that’s covering concessions somewhere, or ticket checkers, or in the walkway on the way in. Which I guess would cover fans, but we don’t know for sure it’s what I’m assuming you mean by overhang inside the stadium. I believe you are right but let’s not assume that’s 100% accurate is all I’m saying. 1 5 1 Quote

Are they responsible for ALL cost overruns, or just after construction begins. I don’t know the details, but I’m pretty sure the overruns will be significant coin. 1 3 1 1 Quote
