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. Go look at the drawings and see if you can comprehend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

notwoz Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Jeez. A 10 percent increase in construction costs. I say let the team move to Toronto because Bills fans won't put up with such fiscal legerdemain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
