The Bills are spending $18M in private funds to "improve club seats and ribbon-board digital signage at New Era Field," according to Vic Carucci of the BUFFALO NEWS. Bills Owner Terry Pegula said that the upgrades, "most of which involve the stadium's three club areas, would be completed" in time for the '18 season. The Bills are "expected to sell the naming rights" to the club areas named after Pro Football HOFer Jim Kelly, former Bills broadcaster Van Miller and former Bills P Paul Maguire. It marks the "first renovation of the club seats" since they were installed in '99. The Bills said that the project includes "new furnishings and upgrades to the concession stands." Bars at each end of the club areas "will replace the center bar." NFL owners at their meeting yesterday in Orlando voted 32-0 "to approve" the project (BUFFALO NEWS, 3/28).
