Hochul: Information from Buffalo Bills stadium study will be released soon

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she believes the results of the stadium study will be released in the next few weeks.

LEWISTON, N.Y. — As talks continue about a new Buffalo Bills stadium in Western New York, Gov. Kathy Hochul says the results of the Bills stadium study will be released soon.

While visiting the Niagara Power Project in Western New York on Wednesday, the governor was asked about the status of the ongoing Bills stadium study. Hochul says she believes the results will be released in the next few weeks.

Up to this point, 2 On Your Side and our partners at Investigative Post have filed Freedom of Information Law requests to see the results of the study from both the county and state and have been denied.

Pegula Sports and Entertainment Executive Vice President Ronald Raccuia told WBEN earlier this month that PSE prefers a location in Orchard Park near the current stadium.

Raccuia said the estimated $1.4 billion stadium would have between 60,000 and 62,000 seats. 

Governor Hochul also noted that the state is studying all of the options, but will ultimately "make the right decision for the people for Western New York."

"We are waiting for the results of a study that's been underway for a number of months now," Hochul said. "And I think that will come out in the next couple of weeks. We're studying all the options. I'm thinking about this constantly, I'm talking to people behind the scenes just to get together information."
