HTN: Bills Football Will Cost the County More in '09

While county government wrestles with budget cuts, one line on the budget will be going up. Buffalo Bills games at Ralph Wilson Stadium will cost taxpayers nearly 7 and a half million dollars next season, up from 5 and a half million in 2008. The county pays for operating expenses, stadium upgrades, and Sheriffs patrols on game days. The current stadium lease expires in 2012.
