The Buffalo Bills are already facing $300 million in overruns for their new stadium despite construction having only begun three months ago.

What was initially estimated to cost $1.4 billion in March 2022, and increased to $1.54 billion months later, is now projected to have jumped to $1.65 billion and approaching $1.7 billion.

The Bills are contractually obligated to cover any overruns. 

Bills COO John Roth called the projections premature and speculative at best.

"We don't know enough yet to confirm this," Roth told the AP on Wednesday, noting only a small percentage of the contracts and bids have been completed.

Roth took over three weeks ago after Ron Raccuia was abruptly fired.
