It has long been reported that it is the Bills’ desire to build the new venue in Orchard Park close to the team’s current home. The team previously conducted a study into determining a location.
Other previously headlines made note that the new venue could be around a 60,000 seating capacity.
The report from The Athletic also states the Bills have “begun preliminary steps” toward the new stadium’s actual construction. Another pretty concrete piece regarding some potential good news on the horizon.
