Welcome to the Democrat version of capitalism, Albany-style

In recent years, the Buffalo Bills faced the threat of leaving New York state unless a new stadium deal was approved, a common tactic among NFL teams. Despite being one of the smallest NFL markets, the Bills’ owner Terry Pegula hinted at relocating to Austin, Texas and building a stadium with private funding.

Ultimately, Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a deal that allocated $600 million in state funding towards a new $2.1 billion stadium for the Bills, with an additional $250 million from Erie County. This move was met with criticism as it significantly increased the value of the Bills by $2 billion, with minimal returns for the state.

Dr. Mark Rosentraub, director of the Center for Sports Venues at the University of Michigan, labeled the deal as “egregious” and highlighted the lack of tangible benefits for the citizens of Buffalo. Despite efforts to keep the team in Buffalo, Pegula profited significantly by selling minority stakes in the team.

The deal raised questions about the use of public funds for stadium projects, especially when private funding options were available. Hochul defended the decision by emphasizing the economic stimulation the stadium project would bring, although the actual impact remains uncertain.

Critics pointed out that the Bills were not even threatening to move, unlike the Tennessee Titans who received a substantial stadium subsidy without relocation threats. Hochul’s decision to pursue another term in 2026 raises concerns about the repercussions of such deals and their long-term effects on taxpayers.

As the debate continues over the benefits and drawbacks of government-funded stadium projects, the case of the Buffalo Bills’ stadium serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of Albany-style capitalism.
