Building a basic outdoor stadium that is just newer is a waste of money.

1.4 billion for a stadium used 12-15 times a year is not worth it.

A dome or retractable roof you can use the stadium 365 days a year for football concerts basketball convention center floor space etc

Would’ve liked to see Quinn for a few more games,
but I’ll bet he gets recalled again at some point

It's amazing to say, but we all know it's coming. It's just what we do. Look at the FNC. And, yes, I know the Pegulas have zero to do with FNC. The damn thing was a dump the day it opened for 225 million or whatever it cost.

No doubt in my mind the field the Bills get will be a 1995 mid teir field.

I don't need a palace, I would take a refurbished Highmark Stadium.

We're all going to take whatever we're given. For me, it'll be just another thing to snicker about from Florida once the wife retires and we get the hell out of WNY.

Doesn't it bother you seeing a game in say Atlanta at the Mercedes Benz stadium knowing we don't have the ability to replicate that in WNY? And the fact that isnt even world class anymore? Our version of Class A office space is a butt ugly salmon colored lego? It pisses me off to no end.

Ahh well, 9 years left until Florida. We're selling our North Buffalo rental this year and looking for a condo to own and rent out in Ft. Meyers area.

You can only add so many bandaids to that stadium. A new stadium is long long overdue. The bills don’t even have a good enough history for the nfl to care if they kept or left the stadium

Lucas oil stadium would be perfect. Nothing too fancy. Put that downtown Buffalo and profit

No, it really doesn't bother me about Atlanta or any other dome stadium. I am there to watch a football game, just want a good view.

Yes no more bandaids, but they could rebuild the Ralph to a upgraded venue and I would love it. Not to many bad seats in that house.

Except you are the one pointing it out like its some sort of accomplishment.

Utter nonsense is what you post. Telling people they shouldn't vent on a message board.

Good God. You deserve a refund, an apology and a beer.
- Hank Balling


Can someone talk to Uncle Terry about that?

If you ever wonder if your work is making an impact, know that after we went down 4-0, I ranted to my buddy about how ridiculous it is that the league is completely arbitrary when it comes to canceling games due to players in COVID protocol. Even more ridiculous for games cancelled in Canada due to attendance restrictions. Keep up the good work!!

Fair.

It will never not bother me, and I only watch NFL on TV. It's a point of civic pride to me when you see those stadiums on the screen. It's almost like an area saying "this is our shrine to the middle class." Football is the most middle class thing in America. Don't make our temple a dump.

It should.

With all due respect to a lot of people here. They are very much stuck in the past.
“We don’t need fancy things”

See the grain elevators battle and saving decaying crap buildings.

We have a “kelp Buffalo a secret” plastered all over the city because we don’t want outsiders.

The rest of the world builds new and better and this city wants something they can get drunk at (not directed at you)

So basically you want a shrine that you don't have to help pay for.

Amen. I'd like to strangle the morons wasting so much time, energy, and attention on a building so important it literally is falling down.

Anyone who pays taxes in NY state, as I do, helps pay for it. And, FFS, why is it so terrible to use tax dollars to build something for middle class people?

Am I to understand America only works for you if you're very rich or very poor? With all due respect, (frank) that garbage position we so often acquiesce to.
