  1. How are we going to deal when he does something good?
  2. On a windy November? You bet.
  3. It's a toss-up between him and his brother Bobby.
  4. The one advantage of a steep balcony, more room for my knees.
  5. They will get more then they do now.
  6. Your friend probably has more expensive seats. They are going by seat cost, then seniority. They absolutely need to do every season ticket holder before they get to the wait list.
  7. I took your advice. I googled it. The answer is totally different. The Bills are now on the hook for over a billion. https://www.google.com/search?q=break+down+the+financing+for+the+new+highmark+stadium&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS946US946&oq=break+down+the+financing+for+the+new+highmark+stadium&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRirAjIHCAUQIRirAjIHCAYQIRifBTIHCAcQIRifBTIHCAgQIRifBTIHCAkQIRifBdIBCTEwMDUxajBqN6gCCLACAfEFIjfLc2Qp8C8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 The financing for the new Highmark Stadium, initially estimated at $1.4 billion, is a mix of public and private funding, with the state of New York contributing $600 million, Erie County $250 million, the NFL loaning $200 million, and the Buffalo Bills covering the remaining $350 million. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Total Cost: The initial cost estimate was $1.4 billion, but has since ballooned to over $2.1 billion. Public Funding: New York State: $600 million. Erie County: $250 million. Total Public Funding: $850 million. Private Funding: Buffalo Bills: $350 million. NFL: $200 million (via a G-4 loan).
  8. Actually stadium acts avoid Highmark because it only has one narrow access to field level, slowing down the process of building and tearing down stages. Bands want to get in and out. If Taylor Swift or Dead & Co was playing at Highmark, people would travel hours to see the show. So local population is not a deterrent.
  9. I'm a 24 year STH'er and still haven't gotten my call. I'd be pissed if waiting list folks got invited before me.
  10. You act like drafting players is like ordering from a menu. Nothing is guaranteed.
  11. They really blew it by not involving UB football in a new stadium project. A convention center/stadium for two football teams/ maybe a new arena to boot. Plus commercial development. You should see what Boston did with the area around TD Garden.
  12. I'm glad you posted this because until you brought it up, no one thought of doing this. Not other NFL GMs, no one. We should absolutely get another teams high pick (because why would a team say no) and only get a game changing player. (Be sure to check the label.)
  13. I blame everyone for not starting new stadium construction sooner. They waited until the worst possible economic situation. It's not like the current stadium didn't need to be replaced 5-10 years ago.
  14. The debate is over. It was a stupid decision.
  15. You can't stop Josh Allen, you can only hope to contain him.
  16. I've been saying the Bills will come back to the state and ask for money to add a cover to the new Highmark in three years. Why? Because that's how things are done here The dumbest, most expensive way.
  17. I remember when the Sporting News was a serious and respected publication.
  18. You are conflating someone posting something compromising on social media with a player using a PED in training. He isn't going to post a photo on Facebook with a caption "Whoo hoo getting ripped!!!" The fact you call Beane a "fool" tells me you have an agenda and are just grasping at things to bolster your nonsense.
  19. They have a little more money available since their aren't paying 2 players for 6 games.
  20. We win playoff games every year. That is considered postseason success. 🙄 He is choosing not to.
  21. I heard today Ogunjobi didn't even know until after he agreed to terms. The fact is no one knew this and there's no way for Beane to know ahead of time because this comes from the league. All this could be avoided if the NFL simply announced who is suspended BEFORE free agency. Something for the next league meeting I suppose.
