ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Three months since construction began on their new stadium, the Buffalo Bills are already facing a potential cash crunch with the latest projections having the team on the hook for as much as $300 million in cost overruns, according to multiple reports.
What was initially estimated to cost $1.4 billion in March 2022, and increased to $1.54 billion months later, is now projected to have jumped to $1.65 billion and approaching $1.7 billion, the reports said.
The rising price tag is notable because the Bills are contractually required to cover any overruns beyond the then-agreed to cost of $1.
