“… But we will make it up in PSL…”
At this point just add a retractable roof
Anyone surprised by this? Anyone?
So their original estimate was like 1/3rd off? That seems like more than a rounding error
Simpsons meme: $560 million *so far*
The cost that exceeds the projection will be covered by ownership and not the city correct?
My buddy in the 100s got his call; PSLs are $6k per seat and the season ticket cost should be about $2800/seat.
He asked about the 300s and he was told that the PSL cost will be determined after the other sections decide if they will commit.
In other words: how much do we think we can squeeze from every fan?
Fuck ‘em. I’m not gonna keep my 300s.
2.1 billion so far and it’s just a basic open roof stadium, If the costs are going to keep going up like this we should’ve made it a dome smh, weren’t the dome estimates around this price tag?
Change order
Name me one NFL stadium that actually came in on the exact budget for the project, I honestly can’t think of any 🫤
And that’s where the Sabres cap space went!!
So we should all be saying “Bills by 2 billion” from now on
And still no retractable roof smh
2 billon with no dome and no practical use outside of football and a concert is just dumb.
Hope the 5 digit PSLs are worth it to sit in the cold and snow
I work in construction. Everybody knows to double your estimate.
This stadium won’t even be a top 15 NFL stadium when it opens.
Dome in Clarence or Amherst away from the Snow Belt that could have been used by UB for other events should have been the play all along.
It’s going to clock in at 2.8, that’s my prediction. Wish I could bet on this stuff.
Should have been a dome. Absolutely no home field advantage playing in the cold and snow.
