Stadium Construction Facts & Figures
LabattBlue replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The UB stadium was a mistake for football since day 1. Having the track around it(built for the world university games) caused the fans to be too far away from the field. Then they built that ridiculous end zone seating which made an ugly stadium, even worse I’d bet it is a very very small minority that would stop going to the games if a stadium was built downtown. -
Surprise Candidates For Starting WR Spots
LabattBlue replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bottom line the Bills have probably the worst group of WR's in the NFL(or at the very least in the bottom 3). There is no quick fix, and the chances of one of these "no names" solving the problem is somewhere between slim and none. Their best hope is a vet gets cut at some point over the summer, and can at least try and fill the hole. Much better than pinning our hope on Mariachi and Co. -
...and the Sabres since 2007 have been an equal mess. Yet people wonder why the BN columnists have been negative for the last decade or more...they would have been criticized just as much for writing columns full of sunshine and lollipops, while the two local franchises were shitting the bed year after year after year. Yes they were over the top at times, but that is part of their job probably dictated by their bosses.

Did Brandon have a minor stake in the team?

Larry Quinn managed to do it with the Sabres -
I'm sure when pressed, he will say something along the lines of "At the end of the season, Zay had some minor knee pain that we thought would get better with rest, now here it is almost June, and it's not getting better, so he has to have surgery blah blah blah blah..." It's all part of that stupid process everyone keeps talking about. LOL

They might get more fans at a Bills HoF if the stadium was downtown(attached to the stadium). Out in OP, only the biggest diehards are making a special trip to visit it...especially in the dead of winter. -

...and that problem isn't getting fixed no matter how much money is spent on renovations at RWS. If it doesn't help generate revenue, and costs truckloads of money, it's not getting done. -
Anybody else mad about our draft hats?
LabattBlue replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They may like to reference it on their twitter/instagram/blah blah blah, but it is in no way a factor in anyone signing here. Player #1...I have two identical offers from the Bills and the Patriots Player #2...The Bills have that cool saying..."Bills Mafia" Player#1...You're right...why go to a team that is a SB contender every year when I can go to a team where I can tweet about the Bills Mafia. LOL -

LabattBlue replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So players are going to want to sign with the Bills because of a stupid moniker? Newsflash...there is only one thing 95% of the players care about when signing a contract...$$$. -
All I want is a domed stadium. Not a retractable roof, not an attached convention center. Just a stadium protected from the elements with good sight lines...and maybe a nice attached Bills Hall of Fame. Free with game ticket...admission charged the remainder of the year. ...and give Delaware North the boot from New Era and the KBC, and allow local restaurants to operate stands in place of the overpriced and crappy food stands that currently exist. I really don't know why this can't happen?

I'm assuming if this happened, it would have take place when Ralph was still alive, but at some point was Brandon given a very small stake in the team? If he did, I would guess his share went away when the Pegula's bought the team? Anyone have any insights regarding this?
-
I've been saying this since this BS started. How many Bills visit the East Side of Buffalo on a regular basis, meet with community leaders, and attempt to make a difference in regards to social injustices, police brutality, etc...(and I'm not talking about going to some grade school and reading books to 6 year olds). My guess is most of them couldn't find the East Side of Buffalo even if you gave them a map.

I would guess that every team has some input/approval of any design. I can’t believe New Era is just going off and designing team gear all on their own. Maybe the Pegula kiddies were involved. lol
