You can make all the arguments and post all the articles you want to. A new stadium or a major renovation will happen; it will cost what it costs and public money, in some form, be it for the actual stadium or serious infrastructure improvements, will be a part of it. This Is pro sports in the modern era: generate "more" money or get out of the game. The Pegula's aren't getting out of the game, and were aware of the stadium issue when they bought the team. They have helped build up parts of downtown, and have a lot of real estate holdings downtown. How many more dots do you need to connect what's going to happen?

Greg Olsen visiting Bills, Redskins, Seahawks

People keep saying cut Smith. He's not the same TE as any of the other TE's. He's there to block. He's probably not going anywhere. -
Year around to do what though? Concerts in the summer will happen. But they have HSBC for the other concerts and most of the artist booked there could not be booked in a football stadium. I get what you're saying, I just don't think the new stadium needs to be a year round facility. Most football stadiums are not that. Even having a roof doesn't mean there is sufficient activities to make it a year round facility. It is what it is. NY is notorious for greased palms, in general.

Dak is a good player; especially seeing as he was a 4th round pick, he's outperformed that slot by far. He's just not top QB money in the league good.

I hear you, but I suspect these studies they've been doing are related to many of those issues. I would even bet work has already been done, behind the scenes, related to many of those issues. i have said in the past that I think the Pegula's will pay for most of this stadium and the city/county/state will make matching contributions that will be focused on infrastructure and transport. The government entities can legitimize spending hundreds of millions on new and improved roads/railways/subway construction that benefits everyone in the city. The Pegula's would probably get a lot of sweetheart deals from the city if they covered most of the stadium cost.

Man can you say it louder for people in the back? There will be a new stadium, probably downtown. Maybe they decide on a retrofit at New Era, but with their other holdings downtown, it makes sense for the Pegula's to move the stadium downtown. They can keep the training/practice facilities in OP since that is where training camp will probably be. State could knock the upper decks off New Era and use it for training camp/ECC/HS games, etc. How it will impact taxes is a non-factor. Do most people know the exact cost added to their taxes if a new stadium is built? It seems the tax complaint is mainly one of principal. And I get it. These billionaires are getting over and no citizen should have to lose anything. But that's the game of pro sports.

LeSean McCoy wants to retire an Eagle
purple haze replied to sunshynman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In college he could get away with his moves without most being able to recover. In the league he's still slippery, but there is always someone on their way, fast enough to get back in the play and poke at the rock. And sometimes making those moves loosens the grip on the ball slightly, but enough to get it knocked out if a back is unsuspecting; and 26 has never had to suspect a defender is getting back in a play after he shakes two or three of them. -
Traditions? Fighting. People getting it on in the 300's. Fighting. Did I say fighting? At the Sammy game winning catch Vikings game several years ago, a dude was about to fight a Vikings fan with his baby in a baby carrier strapped to his chest. And the kids mother was with him ready to fight. Everybody in the surrounding rows were screaming, you got a baby! Ah, good times. Alcohol is helluva drug.
