Buffalo Common Council is holding a public hearing on the proposed new Buffalo Bills Stadium, next week on Tuesday, November 9 at 5:30pm. To date, Pegula Sports & Entertainment have asked for a new stadium in Orchard Park to be 100% publicly funded. Many news outlets have reported that Pegula Sports & Entertainment is seeking $1.4 billion in taxpayer assistance, including grants and tax breaks, to fund a new stadium.
While the new stadium will be county-owned, many residents and elected officials object to it being fully taxpayer-funded. Join the Common Council hearing to share your thoughts and concerns!
