Team Pegula parked money in Buffalo Sports franchises knowing that the values will rise drastically over the coming years. They could sell the Bills to Toronto investors down the line & the Sabres could head back to Quebec or Hartford. So basically we're a big boy holding station and there's no long-term plan for either franchise to stay in Buffalo. The stadium plan was deferred indefinitely and the talk you hear of 5-6 years is complete bullshjt. Pegula's plan is to minimally redress both venues (some public and his own) keep playing there until it's time to close out his position.
The talk of him being our savior to keep the Bills in town is simply just a cover for his financial goals, which are virtually insatiable (Billions to show for it). There's not going to be a new stadium in Buffalo with him, ever. The other power players in town basically offered him land for free and we know about the decade long tax advantage (which he could probably make decades) on improvements including building and equipment which he is skipping over.
Moral is, don't expect the team to win anymore than it has too again or even get out of it's own way. Selling a party to a bunch of alcoholics is an easy sale at a low price, big city money isn't going to work here. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I usually try to forewarn of incredibly negative things to come, this being terrible news that I wanted to share. Sorry.
P.S. If they spent all the money on a new hard venue for the Bills, we'd stay in town but you'll never get past simple banter. They wanted to redress both pigs (they did) and stay even between income and box office, letting time appreciate the holdings. Kim Pegula's nest egg, nothing more. Buffalo gets the final shaft, a dying town with a few minor league teams (kinda like what we have now because we can't win sh**).
