The estimated investment value for the project is US$1.4 billion, out of which US$600 million will be provided by New York State. Erie County will contribute US$250 million and the NFL and Bills will contribute US$550 million.

The stadium will consist of a minimum of 60,000 seats. The state’s negotiations secured a 30-year commitment for the Bills to remain in Buffalo and a combined US$550 million from the NFL and Bills.
