Bills close to new stadium deal?…
For many years, the bills are looking for a new site in Orchard Park to build a new stadium close to Highmark Stadium, which is starting to show some signs of fatigue.
According to The Athletic, the franchise has “undertaken preliminary steps” for the actual construction of the new stadium. A funding deal for the project is “likely to be announced soon”. This would be around 1.4 billion dollars for a 60,000-seat enclosure.

“I just think you have to play until the end, for a while,” said Brandon Beane (GM). “I don’t know if that will be the final result in March at the owners’ meetings, but I think there will be some good proposals and hopefully it will at least get to the point where both teams have an opportunity. “

208 million Americans would have watched at least part of Super Bowl LVI
A new study suggests that the actual number of Americans who watched at least part of Super Bowl LVI was significantly higher than previously reported. The NFL and the Nielsen Company relied on both standard data that has been used to measure viewership for decades, and a new survey from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center to determine how many viewers watched. the Super Bowl outside of their homes, such as at parties, bars and restaurants.
Based on this method of calculation, 208 million Americans would have watched at least part of the Super Bowl, or 25% more than the 167 million viewers initially announced. Nielsen now admits the 167 million figure was an underestimate, due to the unique nature of the Super Bowl, an event people often watch in large groups.
“It’s no secret that the Super Bowl is the most important event in the media landscape each year, but the exact number of people who watch the game is difficult to determine since people tend to gather as a group to watch the game,” Paul Ballew, NFL director of data and analytics, said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal.
