Malazan Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think it's safe to say that any construction project of this measure should take the highest estimate and triple it. Can anyone point to a stadium that didn't have cost overruns? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Whether this "portends well" is debatable. But it is certainly meaningful in one way or another. Buffalo is susceptible to price overruns on major construction (why would be a discussion for PPP). But you know costs overruns must be clearly on the mind of major players (Pegula's, Poloncarz, Cuomo) when they are looking at all the alternatives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why build a palace stadium when the TV contract is most of your revenue? It's nice to have the Chargers pissing off the NFL more than the Bills.

Seasons1992 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Considering NYS is now in a $61B hole, there are two things that will happen with any new stadium: 1. Pegula's are paying for it 100%. 2. They retrofit New Era as-is. There's no way in the next 3-5 years they would consider building a brand new place. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
