Looks like they're one of the worst teams in the League this year unless I'm looking at a different website

Agreed buffalo is not a place for NBA it would fail miserably

I am a big baseball fan, great to see live

that wouldn't work in buffalo unless you had the stadium around Batavia to pull in Rochester people


this economy is very fragile, been so for well over a decade

Actually it was working pretty well, the reason they (Clippers) moved was because they all shared the same building (the Aud).

The problem for the Braves was they were 3rd in line of the picking order for game nights. The Sabres had first dibs followed by the NCAA BB teams that played out of the Aud and then the Braves.

If the NBA would have stayed it would have cost the city the Sabres.

Now with the arena there now, they could in theory make it work since NCAA BB teams in the area have their own areas on campus.

Baseball or Basketball?

Baseball won't work in Buffalo, they had their shot, Steinbrenner saw to it that Buffalo didn't get a team during expansion.

back then it didn't cost an arm and a leg for the gameday experience


hell I had part season tickets for the blue jays in early 90's
cost was about $4 a ticket and I had a friend who sold most of my tickets as I went to about 10 games a year

I bought them for the playoff tickets



and my season tickets for the bills in the early 90's was what $15 a seat, and I was 6th row between uprights



there is no way buffalo can support 40 sabre games and 40 nba games a year

Maybe back in the day it was working but right now it's too much of a Powerhouse teams they would be in the gutter maybe 10 years it's nothing against you guys.

Orlando Magic sell out almost every game and they are god awful...

Tickets are affordable and the team makes money thanks to the TV deal for the league.

They had plans for Pilot Field to be expanded and everything...

Would have been a sight to see for sure

Key word is "Orlando " and the goal is for them not to suck that's why I said it won't work here you will have 15 years of misery this is not going to be your destination if you're a basketball player
Only way you're going to get good talent winning the draft lottery and that's impossible in the NBA

but orlando doesn't have mlb, nfl or nhl hockey

and they get a lot more tourism than buffalo


your move

even had larry king


HELLO



still didn't have a chance

this is buffalo, not LA

only so much money to go around for sports


the ncaa is a good thing, scratches an itch for a few days

40 plus regular season games is a whole new story
- homiedclown

were the Braves an actual nba team or were the solely ABA? but i can't see buffalo supporting an NBA team

but orlando doesn't have mlb, nfl or nhl hockey

Tourism does not equal going to sporting events.

Tourists don't come to Orlando to go to a basketball game.

Buffalo has a huge basketball contingent that don't like hockey.

A basketball team would only compete with the NFL until you know late November when the Bills are out of the playoff picture. In fact most of the basketball schedule is worked around NFL games anyway.

Oh yeah no chance for a MLB team in Buffalo, just imagine what would have been.

some families with kids traveling to orlando certainly consider an nba game for night time entertainment

esp the ones from nebraska



I prefer beach bars on the water, but I have no kids and I avoid orlando

I do go to a rays game when I am on the gulf for entertainment just like a bolt game when I am on vacation down there


again your move

I think at the time, the fans of buffalo would have supported a team

now with ticket prices going up, my guess is ball park would be 1/2 empty on weekdays and 1/4 empty on weekend, with a good team

Got bored

https://www.capfriendly.c...m/armchair-gm/team/293971

Let Bailey, Moulson, Baptiste, Fast, Hudler, Nestrasil, Ennis, Carrier, Girgensons, and Rodrigues battle it out on offense and Falk, Fedun, Murphy, McIlrath on D

You're talking to someone that works for the same company that owns the Magic...I know where most of their tickets are sold and who they are sold to.

Yeah you're probably right.

Especially since the plan called to make that stadium a 40,000 seater
