After recovering from another season-ending injury suffered in 2023, new Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins said Monday that he feels good and is ready to shake off any negative associations. The sale of PSLs could raise around $400 million, according to stadium financing experts who spoke to The News – a number that has escalated as the cost of the stadium increases. But this is how the Bills and their consultant, Legends, which is handling PSL sales and marketing, want it, and, according to the lease, how they are allowed to handle it.

Erie County has just over 11,000 hotel rooms, and a Super Bowl would require at least twice that – plus fancier hotels and far more convention space than is available in Western New York. This concept of 365-day use extends to revenue-generating events, which could be as grand as a concert or as simple as a small corporate meeting. The Buffalo Bills have made their visions for the future, namely those of a championship variety, quite clear. On Thursday, they unveiled the first look at the battleground where those battles toward the Super Bowl will be staged. Raccuia said it was important to the Bills to have a club area big enough to comfortably host large gatherings before the game.

"I actually think they would have moved if the Rogers Communication folks had purchased the team," Poloncarz said. But Buffalo's more populous neighbor was not a "realistic possibility" in any recent relocation effort, the Erie County executive added. Representatives for Toronto did not respond to a request for comment.
Bids advance for Buffalo Bills stadium foundation, but scrutiny over $1.4 billion project remains
The exterior stadium image highlights the team's desire for a visual identity that reflects some of the historical architecture of Buffalo, while also delivering a modern appearance. Architecture studio Populous has designed a stadium for the American football team Buffalo Bills in New York state, which aims to reimagine historic architecture with modern materials. New York State and Erie County last year approved a tentative deal providing $850 million in public funding for the stadium project. The 1.35-million-square-foot stadium with around 60,000 to 62,000 seats and a standing room area and party deck would be built on an approximately 242-acre swath of land in Orchard Park.
Several different locations were considered for the new stadium, besides the idea of building near the existing facility, a location in downtown Buffalo was also seriously considered. In the end, however, it was agreed that the new venue would be built right next to Highmark Stadium, on the other side of Abbott Road. Outside the stadium, the Bills are looking to enhance the parking and tailgating experience by creating gathering spots for fans who want to enjoy the game but may not have a ticket. Above the north end zone, fans are as close as 12 feet vertically from the field, creating a wall of fans that provide a home-field advantage and intimidation aspect of the stadium for any team playing the Bills. The perimeter of the stadium is adorned with an imposing colonnade, which evokes a sense of resilience and pride.
Running back Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to terms on deal that will bring the multi-time former Pro Bowler back, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Monday morning. Five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry is expected to participate in the Jacksonville Jaguars' upcoming rookie camp, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday.

Altreuter, a Buffalo attorney, wrote in a letter to The News. The prices for most personal seat licenses at the Buffalo Bills new stadium remain shrouded in mystery.

Sean McDermott told reporters Monday at the NFL owners meetings that the current plan is "heading towards me” handling the play-calling. The Erie County Stadium Corp. voted Wednesday to clear the way for the state to spend the first $300 million of its contribution toward stadium construction, and named a new president for the state agency. The Buffalo Bills released their eagerly anticipated renderings of how their new state of the art stadium may look when construction is complete on the other side of Abbott Road in Orchard Park come the fall of 2026. In a late 2022 statement to ESPN, Seneca Nation president Rickey Armstrong Sr. said that the tribe has long fought for sovereignty and fair treatment.

MLB owners approved the deal in November 2023, which sets up the A’s to head to Sin City soon. They released renderings for a proposed 30,000-seat ballpark last May, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The new stadium, if approved, would be located near the other sports stadiums in Las Vegas. PHOENIX – Buffalo Bills executive vice president/chief operating officer Ron Raccuia’s excitement level for the planned 2026 opening of the team’s new stadium recently ratcheted up when he was emailed the latest set of seven renderings. The new release by the Buffalo Bills came four days after six renderings, four of which had never been seen before, came out on the website of a company that works with stadium designer Populous. That company, Pictury, works as a subcontractor in creating venue renderings.

Here at BMO Stadium, he explains the similarities between the LAFC and Bills' vision. After New York lawmakers blew past the deadline to approve the state budget, they finally came to an agreement on April 9, 2022, that included a US$850 million subsidy for a new stadium in Buffalo for the NFL’s Bills. There’s something special about walking into a stadium for the first time. Stadiums with a legacy are viewed differently than new facilities due to team history.
“It’s really exciting for the fans to see what we continue to work on, and these images bring it to life more so than ever before,” said Ron Raccuia, chief operating officer and executive vice president for the Bills. Populous’ work will continue through the building process, leading overall design, architecture, interior design and brand activation to create a cohesive and unique experience for Bills fans and visitors. The new stadium will have 60,000 seats (about 10,000 less than Highmark) and 60 suites.
Over the past decade, my ongoing research has shown that public subsidies have fallen to only one-third of building costs, on average. In fact, the most recent Super Bowl was played in the entirely privately financed SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Latest reports say the Coyotes could find a new home in northeast Phoenix, but nothing has been confirmed.
"There's just been a consistent debunking of claims that building these stadiums have economic benefits," New York State Assembly Member Zohran K. Mamdani said. In April 2023, officials signed the new stadium agreement, sending completed documents to the Erie County legislature, which approved them the next month, leading to the official groundbreaking in June. According to Raccuia, the Pegulas estimated that it could cost "near a $1 billion" to renovate the existing structure, including $500 million to fix the upper deck alone. Highmark Stadium (originally called Rich Stadium) has been the home of the Bills since 1973, making it the fourth-oldest active stadium in the NFL. As far back as 2011, when the Bills were owned by Ralph Wilson Jr., the organization has explored the possibility of building a new stadium. Those explorations accelerated after the Wilson trust sold the team to the Pegulas in 2014.
