The Buffalo Bills have quickly established themselves as one of the best teams in the AFC.
This has directly correlated to the rise of Josh Allen, bringing elite quarterback play to a team that was in desperate need.
Now that the team has become more successful and increasingly popular, they have been in talks to build a new stadium.
According to a recent article from the Associated Press, via the NFL’s website, the Bills can now begin construction on a new facility.

As this article details, this stadium will house over 60,000 seats and will cost over $1.5 billion to complete.
It is slated to be finished in 2026, ready in time for that season.
Buffalo is routinely one of the snowiest cities in the entire country.
Up until this point, their stadium has not had a roof, a controversial topic across the league.
As the Bills continue to ramp up conversations for this new stadium, many fans were initially under the impression that the stadium would be covered.
Pending a major change, it appears that this will remain an open stadium, allowing the elements to continually impact their games.
Last season, there were several instances where it snowed over a foot, causing snow-removal teams to work extra diligently, allowing games to commence.
Ultimately, this stadium will drive additional revenue to the area, as new facilities typically do.
Allen and the Bills haven’t made it to the Super Bowl up to this point but will look to do so in the coming years.
Will the excitement of a new stadium drive the Bills’ front office to be more aggressive, adding the necessary players to best compete?
