Buffalo Bills won't renew lease in July '23 without new stadium deal

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills won't renew their lease with the state and county without a partially publicly funded agreement in place for a proposed new $1.4 billion stadium, leaving the team's future uncertain beyond July 2023.

"No, we absolutely will not," Pegula Sports and Entertainment senior vice president Ron Raccuia told Buffalo's WBEN-Radio on Thursday.

In saying the topic of relocation has not been raised during discussions with government officials, Raccuia didn't entirely rule out that possibility by using the word "yet" when asked if the Bills might begin looking elsewhere once the lease expires in about 23 months.
