Recently the Buffalo News reported that progress is being made with extending the lease of the Buffalo Bills here in western New York. The renovations estimate to 40 year old Ralph Wilson stadium will total more than $200 million. Which is more than county official first estimated that they would be around $100 million last fall. According to this report County Executive Mark Poloncarz hopes that most of the required funds will come from the state, and the Buffalo Bills hopefully will kick in some of the funding following the trend of other NFL cities. The state of New York is said to receive between $10 million-$20 million annually from tax revenues that are generated from the Buffalo Bills annually from playing in western New York, and county government is hoping they will pay for the bulk of the requested renovations over a three year period.
