  1. Really nice body, really good looking, but just too many tattoo's for my liking.
  2. I'm in favor of a retractable roof, but there won't be funding for that. I like the proposal set by the Bills for covered seating with the field open. A full time dome although nice during the winter takes away from Buffalo Bills football.
  3. This is what I see when I see Tua
  4. An article I found earlier answers that question. https://buffalonews.com/news/two-decades-later-developers-rediscover-dome-stadium-site/article_e32e5e06-b116-5aa0-afb3-e3e4afbc93fd.html
  5. True, but it would probably have been renovated, a la the Ralph, or may have been a catalyst for an more modern facility. And if a Major League Baseball team were to have been moved to Buffalo, we could have seen Football and Baseball only stadiums.
  6. My band may very likely play Moorpat next year during Music on Main. We usually play at Cabernets Wine Cafe.
  7. That is a really great idea!
  8. We went last year and were blown away!
  9. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/news/2015/08/27/decades-old-blueprints-for-proposed-bills-dome-stadium-in-lancaster-on-display Article is from 2015. I wonder if we can still see the plans somewhere. LANCASTER, N.Y. -- The debate over a location for a Bills stadium is apparently nothing new. Recovered blueprints from the 1970's show that a dome stadium was proposed in Lancaster nearly 50 years ago. Looking at 1970s blueprints for the proposed Dome Stadium in Lancaster brings back memories for Paul Welker. "I had some mixed emotions because I thought it would be a great thing for Lancaster, you know, like put us on the map," said Welker of Lancaster. That actually never happened. But close to 50 years later, the original blueprints were discovered in old Erie County Hall storage untouched for decades. Erie County Legislator Ted Morton delivered them to the Lancaster Historical Society Thursday for public display. "All of the talk of the stadium took place in the late 60's, and of course just reading myself some of the articles at that time the divide that existed not only with Ralph Wilson but with residents to build this stadium here," said Morton. The dome stadium was proposed for Pleasant View Drive, where an environmental consulting firm has stood since 1988. "I know there were people who were really opposed to it they were going to lose their home if they lived on Pleasant View Drive. But then other people who lived on Pleasant View Drive said I'll build the biggest hot dog stand you ever saw and I'll be rich," said Theresa Wolfe, Lancaster Historical Society vice president. The Lancaster stadium that never was, was intended to house the Bills and a baseball team. But not everyone was on the same page. "Matter of fact it appears that it was the legislature at that time that wanted Lancaster and wanted a Dome stadium, not the owner of the Buffalo Bills," said Morton. The long drawn out project ultimately ended with the Ralph Wilson Stadium being built in Orchard Park. But the blueprints for a Lancaster stadium make some wonder... what if? "The only thing that I thought was maybe not so good was the congestion. But I still probably would've leaned more for having it here," said Welker. The blueprints are being loaned to the Lancaster Historical Society, while work is underway to have them legally turned over.
  10. Our roster except for maybe the O line is pretty much set. Why tinker with what is working?
  11. The only thing I can say to that is look at the results with him and without him.
  12. For those who are challenged in German (me): New images have surfaced of the accident on the bridge at the Vaart in @stadleuven . A witness to the incident was just able to capture how the car slid off the bridge and landed on its roof.#robnieuws#robtv
  13. He was showing Dawson that you can play and catch with one hand. Two hands are overrated.
  14. Not cheap, but Schwabl's for Beef on Weck and amazing mixed drinks.
  15. Give Tua a break He has trouble with English He needs assistance
  16. Thanks for that website!
  17. I'm not looking back But I want to look around me now See more of the people And the places that surround me now Time stands still
  18. What I really like about that arena is how the majority of seating is in the lower bowl. You don't see upper decks as small as that barn. Gets the fans more engaged. Nice design.
  19. The A's were going to bring him up to the Major League Roster. Maybe that was a promise to keep him on the A's and not play football, and the money is greater in the NFL, but my point is he had a commitment, and turned his back on that commitment.
  20. Have you been to the new Arena?
  21. The city leaders will whine to Trudeau, strings would be pulled, and Toronto would get the franchise. Toronto whines a lot. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
  22. Well for me, myself and I, being an Oakland A's fan, he was under contract with the A's, the top prospect in their system, about to make it to the Majors, and he totally turns his back on Oakland.
