Eminent Domain & Stadiums: The Bills, The Kings, The Cowboys

The Buffalo Bills & Sacramento Kings both need new stadiums. Building new stadiums takes land. If negotiations fail, land is acquired via eminent domain. The Buffalo Bills prefer negotiations.

Buffalo would rather pay more in a neogtiation than use eminent domain, which leads to costly litigation.

There’s a list of professional sports stadiums that have used eminent domain, Texas makes the list:

• Brooklyn Nets
• Dallas Cowboys

The Buffalo News   Sacramento Bee (The Kings also used eminent domain & are in litigation over compensation)
