LabattBlue

I knew exactly what that was on the lid of the cap...and still think it is fugly. Just because you blend two designs together, doesn't make it awesome. ...and for the 2nd time in this thread...F*** New Era. https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/local/new-era-cap-planning-to-close-derby-plant/71-614111260

...and oh by the way, F*** New Era.

Whenever I see a hat like this, I can only come to the conclusion that they have never heard of the KISS principle.

They manage an arena, have a connecting hotel/hockey rink/restaurant, and own the building next door where Labatt is a tenant. That equates to "in the process of controlling EVERYTHING downtown" ? LOL LOL LOL I guess you weren't aware that there are at least 10-15 other hotels downtown and dozens of restaurants/bars in the downtown area. Is Pegula in the process of buying those all up? Is he taking over the downtown casino from the Seneca's while he is at it? I think maybe you need to turn the Pegula hype down a couple of notches. That being said, IMO the new stadium will go downtown, and I'm sure there will be a couple of Pegula owned properties nearby.

I'm sure it can become a very nice OP subdivision...that is, the part that doesn't contain the field house and adjacent team facilities. I would think those would continue to be used, even if a downtown stadium is built.

Poloncarz will be changing his tune in regards to a new stadium, and helping fund it, once Pegula states his intentions, and gets the court of public opinion on his side.

Me too!

I've been a big Duke fan since the Laettner era, but now Coach K is just another guy recruiting these one and done players(Zion). ***** them. I was glad they lost. I'd love to see Zion's transcripts for his freshman season....of course they'd be doctored transcripts.

I have no idea what this means? LOL

Edwards would have been fun to watch in the Final Four, but the useless 7’ dork for Purdue would have made me turn the game off. How are you that tall, but can’t rebound at all? I’m glad Virginia won.

hahahaha...my mistake...but they did take the team accustomed to playing in blizzards to OT.

Like I said your biased...but your experience in Indy is reason to have a stadium in the suburbs instead of in a downtown area? Yes...that is nonsense.

What is lame. There is a sub-forum "off the wall" for all non-Bills/NFL talk. Why criticize a mod for doing his job?

There is one downside to choosing Alabama against most other power 5 conference schools. The students, fans, and most especially, the powerful alumni, are used to the football program being the best(or at the very least being in the playoffs)...every single year. Tough to compete with that. Making the tourney, and getting bounced in the first two rounds, or even the sweet 16, isn't going to cut it.

I said this same thing when they did there surveys and had their little STH focus groups. They mean nothing. IMO...they have already decided what type of stadium they want, and where it will be. It's just waiting for an announcement at this point.

ILB is a big need. If Edmunds doesn't show significant progress in the run game, and at some point they decide to move him outside, they will need someone to step up to the plate. Who is his current backup? I'd spend a 4th round pick to address this.

Just my 2 cents. I think a retractable roof is a waste of money and not being considered, but a moderately priced domed stadium which is more in line with Minnesota and Indy, and not Jerry's World or Mercedes Dome, is probably going to end up being the answer.

Fine...but don't just spin nonsense.

Hahahaha. Exactly right. All the posters in this thread who think this is a great idea, will be bitching up a storm, the first time this works against the Bills.

I brought up both. They have a rink right across the street(Northtown Center) that could be used. Not sure what Canisius and Niagara have to do with UB starting up? If anything, it would be a great rivalry. That being said, I'm beating a dead horse. I've written several UB AD's about this over the years. Never going to happen.

When is Byron Brown going to chime in that he is butt hurt, that he was not considered for this honor? LOL

Sal C was on WGR this morning rambling about how this type of play could be reviewed on the last play of the game(Hail Mary), and people would have to stand around for 5 minutes of a review before knowing if the game is over. This is your Bills beat reporter. Way to have a grasp of what has been approved.

The sight lines in the 100 level of the arena drive me crazy. I'd love to know from the design team, WTF they were thinking...especially coming from the Aud, where even the lower bowl was steep enough that you never had a problem seeing over the person in front of you.

Take his ramblings with a grain of salt. He is biased, as he is about to lose his parking revenue from 10 home games every year.

Unless UB is ready to move up to the Big East, the coaches they have had(Reggie, Hurley and Oats) have taken them as far as they are going to go. They will have some good MAC seasons, and some mediocre ones, but that is what they will be as long as they are in the MAC.
