I would definitely go dome which will put the cost of the stadium at 2-3 billion. Retractable roof will be too expensive. Also PSL's will not be enough to cover the cost as you will only get 200m-300m from them. Most of the cost will come from tax hikes to the citizens of Buffalo. Keep in mind that people have to vote yes to tax hikes and many will not. I have followed closely the funding of the Chargers and Falcons stadiums. In both cases, tax hikes were voted down and the owners threatened to move the team. In Chargers case the team was moved because of repeated no votes to tax hikes. The City of Atlanta and the county eventually voted for tax hikes but only to the rental car and hotel and motel tax. This was sold as out of towners paying the tax not the locals. This works because the Atlanta airport is a major international hub with over a 100 million travelers per year. If citizens of Buffalo vote down the tax hike watch Pegula threaten to move the team as leverage. It's going to get interesting folks.

Kyler Murray is not a Cowboys Fan

He's on his way to being a bust. What if they miss the playoffs again this season? -
Hey Levon... You made the wrong choice
JakeFrommStateFarm replied to kirkwoodus13's topic in The Stadium Wall
He's done. I wouldn't be shocked if no one else signs him -
Jones could be a good one. He just needs some time

Wow !!! Thanks for posting this as it is a pretty bad indictment of Wentz. I never knew all this happened in Philly. I'm not a Wentz fan and I personally would like to see him fall flat on his face. It will be interesting to see how the Colts go from Rivers the consumate nice guy to the ego driven Wentz. I like Stafford, Darnold and Fitz. I just think Fitz is too old.

Stadium update, but not really
JakeFrommStateFarm replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's easy. The report will say the taxpayers of Buffalo are going to shafted paying for a billionaires stadium -

Did TE University help him with his butter fingers? -
What will josh allens contract look like?
JakeFrommStateFarm replied to arcadia bob's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sounds about right. This is a contract that could cripple a small market team like the Bills for years to come. It could be Allen with a bunch of UDFA that make up the team -

That's what I thought as well. But I've been told Buffalo is such a great place to live that fans will want to live here forever
