Bills might ante up for some of the stadium improvements

[Skooby]

But now the Bills -- along with the National Football League -- are being asked to provide tens of millions of dollars for the improvements.

The Bills should pay for a percentage of the total cost. That's what the NFL loan system is there for. As the article mentions, other teams have used this model recently, no reason the Bills should be any different.

Especially given the fact that it looks as if the Bills will be renewing the Toronto Series... If the Bills are voluntarily leaving the stadium vacant for 1/8th of the season, they should have to foot at least 1/8th of the total cost, essentially paying for the portion of the renovations that won't see any ROI, due to the team playin in Toronto during that Sunday.
