Long ways away, but I think the current situation with Buffalo is pretty similar to here. The taxpayers are putting up $850 million and ownership is putting up the rest (I believe) for a new open-air stadium. If there was ever a team that should have a dome, I thought it would be Buffalo.
Regardless, a dome allows for more concerts and other events year-round and more money to the banks. It probably won't be for 10-15 years, and it will be "the house that Burrow built" because before he came along, the city would have never supported a new stadium. Now, I bet taxpayers would be 100% behind it. Winning, in fact, does cure everything.
Most of the money for the new Buffalo stadium is coming from the state of New York. Somehow I can't see Ohio chipping in for a new stadium in Cincinnati. The NFL is kicking in $200 million and ownership $350 million plus cost overruns. The state will also contribute to day to day running expenses
Buffalo's stadium was built in 1973
All hopes turn to next year
