Councilmember Brian Davis has put forth a plan to create a downtown stadium for the Bills at the Perry public housing projects.
The plan was presented to the Buffalo Common Council today; the council adopted Davis' resolution and will shortly form a task force to investigate further.
"I don't think there's a better location than this location," Davis said on the council floor.
There are some issues with Davis' plan. All current tenants of the Perry Projects would have to be relocated; the city would still have to purchase numerous properties around the area for parking purposes; and it would have to figure out how to fit a 120-acre facility (the Bills' current complex at One Bills Drive) into a 50-acre space.
"It could possibly be a lengthy process," Davis says. "Yes, we're on the ground floor, but it's time for the elevator to take off the ground floor."
