The ROI is keeping the team in Buffalo


If there is a marginal increase in revenue from this, it doesn't offset the massive initial public investment and the yearly sustained public investment.

The owners are billionaires who could afford building their own new stadium. But they, like many owners before them, have leveraged the threat of leaving into a huge public investment that ultimately increases the value of their franchise.
