Chris and Stephen argue about whether Josh Allen is the best player in the league. There is a time and a place for it. After the framework of a deal for a new Buffalo Bills stadium was agreed to in March, the team officially released the first images of the stadium. Ron Raccuia, executive vice president of Pegula Sports and Entertainment, said on WGR 550 in Buffalo that the stadium will look like outside of minor changes. One look at the exterior of the stadium and one look at the interior of the open-air stadium will show you. The canopy protects against wind and precipitation. The wind confusion caused by the multidimensional exterior skin of the stadium will be mitigated by it. Fostering a culture. Building the future. Here's the first look at renderings of the New Bills Stadium.https://t.co/wQjumbzQA7 | #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/RC9hnAGkiy
Three large buffalo statues are located in a plaza outside the stadium. The exterior of the plaza was designed to highlight the team's desire for a visual identity that reflects some of the historical architecture of Buffalo, while also delivering a modern appearance. It is possible to see inside the stadium from the outside.
The Bills' current stadium, Highmark Stadium, will be across the road from where the new stadium will be built in the year 2026. Populous is an architectural firm that the Bills are working with. The groundbreaking is expected to take place in the year 2023.
The deadline was pushed back to December in order for the state to finish an environmental impact study on the stadium. After the study is received, the deadline will be 30 days after that.
We are taking our time Raccuia said that they were working well with the state and the county. There's another deadline." We will keep working to get it to the end line. We're at that point. It's just one of those things that takes a bit longer. There's nothing to worry about. We will continue to progress the way that we have been.
The stadium's funding is a record $850 million of public money, with $600 million coming from New York state and $250 million from Erie County.
Highmark Stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in the league.
