The Bills are set to open their brand new stadium in 2026 after a lengthy negotiation to reach an agreement that their new home would stay in western New York. However, Erie County exec Mark Poloncarz believes that the team would have relocated if the organization had to build the stadium itself.
The Buffalo franchise is co-owned by husband and wife Terry and Kim Pegula and Poloncarz broke down how negotiations went.
“The NFL is a business,” Poloncarz told Sports Business Journal. “You’re negotiating with one of 32 of the owners of the business. They have the ability, like a lot of the other businesses that we’ve seen in our town, to move if they feel it’s better for them.
