Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed a Buffalo News report during a Wednesday radio spot that the Buffalo Bills originally asked for the public to pay 100% of the construction costs of a new $1.4 billion stadium.

She also said reports that there was a chance the Bills could move without a deal for a new stadium are real, noting that cities that have lost teams in the past were calling Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula.

“They did have options to leave, and that was hanging over New York, Western New Yorkers in particular. So, the decision was made to get the best deal we could for taxpayers, and we did that,” Hochul said on WNYC.
