“Just Another Tax Burden”: NFL Fans Dismiss Buffalo Bills’ $1.5 Billion Prestigious Project

The Buffalo Bills are one of the most quiet teams in the NFL. Having never won a Super Bowl, their best seasons were between 1990 to 1993, when they appeared in four consecutive Super Bowl finals. And ever since, they have been trying to find out ways to regain their former glory, and even make their dreams of a Super Bowl title come true. Last season after making the playoffs, they were eliminated in the divisional round by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Amidst the team’s hopes of NFL glory, the Bills are getting an upgrade. A $1.5 billion upgrade, to be exact. Could this improvement project in the franchise be a door for them to be one of the top-ranking teams in the NFL?

The Buffalo Bills are investing in a new stadium

The Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park has been the home ground for the Bills in the NFL since 1973. The stadium has seen the various highs and lows of the franchise throughout the decades. Now, memories at the Highmark Stadium are set to be memories for a lifetime, as the Buffalo Bills are going to have a new stadium for themselves in the coming years ahead.

The Bills are set to move to New York state, as a $1.5 billion project has been given a seal of approval to build a new and improved stadium for the Bills. According to reports, the New York State will be funding $600 million of the $1.4 billion project, with the NFL and the Bills investing $550 million and Erie County $250 million. The new stadium will be owned by the state rather than the county, just like Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park. And a recent post announces the groundbreaking ceremony of the new stadium on Monday at 9 AM. The post by News 4 WIVB Buffalo states that Bills owner Terry Pegula, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, GM Brandon Beane, and HC Sean McDermott will be in attendance amongst others.

Despite this new project for the Bills, fans do not seem to be very happy with the shift of their stadium to New York.

Fans express concern over $1.5 billion project

 Fans took to the comment section of the post to share their discontentment over the new stadium project of the Buffalo Bills. 

One fan commented, “Just wait “fans “ …..parking will double in cost 💵💰, tickets 🎟️ will go up substantially, and concessions will be criminally priced 😤…Just you wait and see 🤮”

Another fan said, “If they were paying for it, I’d be there but I’m paying for it and had no say in it. Don’t need a new one”
