    There are alternates that could help significantly.  

     

    There used to be deal with train, Amtrak I believe, with partial season ticket packages allowing you to take train to station and they had shuttle buses to game.

     

    Orchard Park / Eric County/ New York could install express bus lanes to and primarily from stadium to lots which would allow large amounts of people to leave area reducing clogging.  

     

    10 days a year is not worth cost.  If the Pegulas/NFL/Corporate sponsors were picking up the costs of the stadium I could see the state picking up infrastructure costs but it is a lot easier of Albany politicians to pick up cost for public work projects in NYC area than elsewhere although they do not mind taxing everyone rather than creating special taxing district.

    Change is the only constant in our lives,  let your/our tax money be spent on stuff that makes us happy, hell we’re gonna be dead in not so many years. The new stadium is not the end all of course, but it sure won’t hurt. It’s always a good sign to see construction happening in a city. It does beat no construction happening. Communities die when they stop trying.

    ya think? andy isn't gonna do that. best bet is have the senecas take the job and put a sports betting casino in it....with a hotel next door. don't be surprised...

    no offense but i give more credence to those who actually live in the area.

    So why do you resist the Billionaires who are already well on the way to doing what you want the Senecas to do? 

     

    Go Bills!!! 

  3. I guess the OP is going to be disappointed then.  When the new stadium is built it’s gonna be downtown. Just imagine, a city with tens of thousands of people on the streets, a vibrant city, a city with the name  BUFFALO attached to it.  Wouldn’t that be a great day for BUFFALO New York?  I sure hope all you BUFFALO BILLS fans think that would be a very good thing to have happen.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Who did that?

    Really?

     

    Our society as whole condones this, and continues to do so, currently, and throughout world history.  Look up how many men beat up or killed their spouses or girl friends In the last ten years alone, the numbers are staggering. 

     

    I’ll leave it to you to do the research. Just look up the number of domestic violence cases in the last ten years, 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    I don't think Allen is anything like Newton, and I doubt Beane ever though so, either.  

     

    Granted, they both are big and they both can run, but Allen's game is throwing the ball.  Cam isn't all that good a thrower.  

    I agree with this, I think we would all be very happy if Allen became Willson esq. 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Ok Im slow. What does LAMP represent lol

     

    It represents posters getting their panties in a twist when another poster puts up something they don’t approve of,  jmo, 

     

    it it is a form of socially trying to embarrass another Bills fan.

     

    Go Bills!!!

    You sound like you were born in NYC.  When I was in college there was always a discussion on this (once economic major wrote his thesis on it) and those from SE NY were never in favor of it and the rest were not.  One guy from Lon Gisland (how he pronounced it) would say why would we want to let the serfs go?

    I grew up in Rochester NY, so no...

    i just don’t think dividing people vs finding common ground is a good idea, makes the country weaker when anyone does that. We are one country made up of immigrants from all over the this world. It’s who we are like it or not.

     

    Go Bills!!

    IF Upstate contributed to a downstate stadium (they did as part of NY payment) then they (NY) can afford a stadium Upstate.

    If not break the state in half as many have advocated.  In reality downstate and upstate have little in common other than taxes taken by Albany.

    We are all New York, it’s not two separate entities.  It would be the height of foolishness to even think about splitting up the state.  It would result in less national importance, and create the poorest north east state on purpose.  Why would anyone in their right mind want to be the Mississippi of the north east?  Just sayin,

  9. I would be with the downtown contingent, The “P’s” are about long term investments when it comes to the sports entertainment thing.  The “P’s” legacy in Buffalo is what matters to them the most.  The downtown location works very well with all their other expenditures.  As I said in another post, eventually the old stadium will be taken down, leaving the playing field as part of the Bills training facility.
