Under the deal, New York state would pick up $600 million of construction costs, with Erie County kicking in $250 million. The Bills, which are owned by the billionaire Pegula family, and the NFL would pick up the final $550 million and sign a 30-year lease to use the stadium, according to Hochul’s office.
The costs wouldn’t be limited to construction, however. If approved, the state and county would also chip in about $400 million total for maintenance, repair and capital improvements over the length of the agreement, paid out in annual installments and pushing the total public subsidies past $1.2 billion over three decades.
