Agreed, An outdoor, grass, open roof stadium is all thats needed, not some ridiculous multipurpose stadium that wont get used much anyway.
Ive always hated football being the 3rd wheel in the current proposals.
-Tracker pulls, rofl, that's worth a billion extra bucks for a roof. I'd rather keep getting winter classics.
-A snowballs chance in Texas that at a Super Bowl will be hosted here.
I dont mind a sin tax paying to help build and maintain a FOOTBALL stadium from Erie County with NYS and Pegs help, but I would hate paying an absurd tax to maintain a luxurious dome with the Buffalo winters we get. As St Louis about the dome they had for the Rams that they count maintain and in effect lead to the Rams laving to go back to LA.
We dont need a Jerry Jones style stadium just a nice, modern football stadium. This is not a wealthy community its barely blue collar anymore it's more pink, and pink collar workers will never be able to afford season's with PSL's and sin taxes.
Here's a quick reality check
-We are the 2nd smallest market in the NFL, 1st being Green Bay, simple stadium is all that is needed.
-The WNY area is ill-equip to handle hosting a Super Bowl.
-The bigger and more multi-purpose the stadium is the higher the taxes will be to maintain and upgrade.
-PSL's suck.
-Retractile roof will not only cost more but be pointless.
-This is WNY where a new international bridge has had its ground breaking on Canada's side 17 years ago and yet no new international bridge yet due to WNY politics.
In the end the keeping Ralph might be the best option in all this
