BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Hopefully, you got your pictures with the Josh Allen billboard at the Statler Hotel in Buffalo before it was taken down Saturday night.
The billboard went up in mid-September and became one of Western New York's favorite pieces of the skyline.
"The contract for the billboard was for a 30-day period between Douglas Development and Gatorade which has recently expired," said a City of Buffalo spokesperson.
Paul Millstein, Vice President of Douglas Development, said the company was unable to work out an extension with Gatorade.
On Monday, the president of a local real estate company discussed the possibility of other billboards going up on buildings in Buffalo. You can watch the full conversation below.
Although the billboard was popular, it did prompt some questions about whether or not the installation was in line with city rules.
Douglas Jemal, the owner of the Statler Hotel, responded to allegations that the hotel didn't have permission to put up the billboard. You can watch the video below and read more here.
"Owner Douglas Development successfully completed and complied with all required sign permits with the city and all approvals were granted, including a zoning variance," said a spokesperson for the City of Buffalo.
QB1 hoped the billboard would inspire others while it was up.
