It always happens. Get the people to buy in and then things change to reality.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Three months since construction began on their new stadium, the Buffalo Bills are already facing a potential cash crunch with the latest projections having the team on the hook for as much as $300 million in cost overruns, according to multiple reports Wednesday

What was initially estimated to cost $1.4 billion in March 2022 and increased to $1.54 billion months later, is now projected to have jumped to $1.65 billion and approaching $1.7 billion, the reports said.

Time to cut player expenses.


Or I could get political.

[notorious]

They can save money by not building a trophy case.

[Titty Meat]

The price of construction these days is outrageous. If the reports are true thar Clark just wants to do some more renovations to Arrowhead he's doing the taxpayers of Jackson County a favor

[Rainbarrel]

Since they're the most popular NFL team in all of Canada and China. -Bills fans :holdman: Perhaps those countries will chip in.

[Coochie liquor]

Maybe they should leave the butt fingering HOF, dildo throwing HOF, and mongoloid table smashing HOF out of their stadium then. Focus on their Lombadi’s… those are the most important!

So they are going to have a rolling roof to be able to heat the inside of the stadium right?

I believe the Power and Light developers are still unable to pay their loans and Jackson county is still bailing them out.

[Chief Pagan]

A contractor low balling!

[AdolfOliverBush]

Just value engineer that shit into a bare bones beige cube like most other construction projects.

[Mecca]

I love how every single stadium project is always over budget.

[Dunerdr]

How much money could they save by not building dildo nets?

[Eleazar]

They probably need to account for child care for all the kids Josh Allen will have with teammates' exes over the coming decade

[ModSocks]

Gonna have to cut English class from public schools now.

[Kiimo]

Just wait until winter "surprises" them by dumping a firehose of five feet of snow in five hours

Every stadium?

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – The final numbers are in and they show that Allegiant Stadium was completed $25.1 million under budget. Allegiant Stadium was budgeted for $1.97 billion and the final expenditures show $1.94 billion spent. The exact number is $1,944,872,656.Dec 9, 2020

I think it really comes to down to the state officials and if they like to grease palms with taxpayers money. Las Vegas was able to build a beautiful stadium under budget.

The cardiac unit wasn't really all that necessary

True but that is an ungodly budget.

sorry if you wanted to learn to read you dumb brats the bill's owner's nephew needs to get his beak wet

True but that is an ungodly budget.

SoFi Stadium cost $5.5 billion and took almost four years to build, first serving as home for the Rams and Los Angeles Chargers in September 2020. Constructed as a JV between Turner Construction and AECOM Hunt, the stadium has 70,240 seats, and can expand to 100,240 for major events like the Super Bowl.Feb 9, 2023

This is an ungodly budget and makes the Raiders stadium seem like a deal.

[ChiliConCarnage]

It says the Bills are on the hook for any over runs. :shrug:

[saphojunkie]

allegiant looks bad fucking ass. SoFi is great, honestly. not a bad seat with that LED screen

[Kiimo]

Wait until they see the new Camarrowhead, a 5 billion race car bed for champions

[Eureka]

allegiant looks bad ****ing ass. SoFi is great, honestly. not a bad seat with that LED screen

I've been to a few games at allegiant. The dome is white but lets just enough light in to not be really dark. That allows the light show during the halftime show to be epic

It's nice that you can also walk from the Vegas strip and enjoy the weekend a fun weekend.
