The Bills Mafia may see a facelift version of their current stomping grounds in the upcoming years. As exciting as it sounds, the New York taxpayers will contribute over 75-80% of the estimated value of the Buffalo Bills’ new facility. However, this brings in a couple of individuals with their own denunciation over the enormous investment. Even a congressional representative gave a critical statement about it.
New York officials plan to revamp the stadium across the avenue on the Bills’ current residence in a Buffalo neighborhood. The re-development receives the largest public funding allocation for a professional football venue in history. The new sports and entertainment complex has a tempting design with a high valuation.

The newly proposed Buffalo Bills arena sparks political uproar
When the official news of the $1.4 Billion facelift venue went public, critics battered the plan. They think it to be an obvious consequence of electoral-year giveaways. Yuh-Line Niou, a congressional representative, also criticizes the judgment. She claims that the climate initiative, which they genuinely wanted, received less funding than the Buffalo Bills initiative.
