Bills owner doubtful about replacing stadium

Buffalo Bills owner Kim Pegula expressed doubt at the NFL owners meetings this week about the team's ability to build a new stadium to replace New Era Field.

"I don't even know if we can get there," Pegula told The Buffalo News. "I know fans in Buffalo don't want higher ticket prices, they don't want [personal seat licenses]. The state [of New York] doesn't want to give you any money, the city doesn't. ... We don't have a billion-and-a-half dollars sitting around. We used it to buy the team."

Pegula's comments are the latest twist in a years-long discussion about New Era Field, which opened in 1973 and is among the league's oldest venues.
