When building a new stadium, we never go under budget. It’s almost always over budget.

The new Bills stadium in Buffalo is already way over budget.

via Associated Press, construction costs increased by 560 million dollars. For $2.1 billion.

The bonds are responsible for all spending beyond the original estimate of $1.54 billion. This means the Bills will now pay $1.2 billion for the stadium. That’s only $200,000 less than what Terry and Kim Pegula paid for the entire team 10 years ago.

Some of the cash may come from sales efforts, up to 25 percent of the franchise.
