26CornerBlitz Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Hefty relocation ......10 year lease!!!! Good news....Wonder what Hefty means? Especially to a Billionaire Group. http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2012/12/bills-agree-to-10-year-lease-deal-keeping-team-here.html Edited December 21, 2012 by 26CornerBlitz
tito1 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Turn it to WGR - currently discussing it. Actually they said that hefty may not be really hefty for a billionaire, but either way it's good news
bigK14094 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I might not outlive the lease, but, 10 more years of the NFL in WNY sounds good to me.
Jdragon2 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) 400 million reloaction fee for years 1-6. After 7 the penalty goes bye bye Lets not forget the fee for moving a franchise assessed by the NFL Edited December 21, 2012 by Jdragon2
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Confirmed by the news, with details http://buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121221/CITYANDREGION/121229867/1109 35 mil from the team, very good 10 year term, ridiculous out after 7 years with no financial penalty, uber ridiculous Way to negotiate, Cuomo and Polancarz! And Ralph is an ass for making this short of an agreement with those demands.

After 7 the penalty goes bye bye Lets not forget the fee for moving a franchise assessed by the NFL Hopefully the Wilson Family sells to a new ownership group that will keep the team in WNY within years 1-6.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 This is great news!!!!!!!!! Ironic that is comes on the supposed "doomsday" lol Go Bills! CBF
tito1 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Ralph will be 101 in 7 years. Sadly, not sure his chances are that strong to hit the century mark (he seems to have had a good run). Doubt that 3 year period will be impactful unless he passes during that period
BarkLessWagMore Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 You assume Ralph even knows wtf is going on anymore. I assume nothing. He's in charge until we're told differently. So those under him, reflect his wishes. And this deal is consistent with the borderline contempt he has shown WNY over the years. Not being an ass, I am happy the eam is staying for now. But teams sign 20 and 30 year leases all the time when taxpayers make $100m+ investments.
May Day 10 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 this would pretty much extinguish the LA flame. Cant move there really until 2020?
GG Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Shouldn't this be combined with the fire Brandon thread?
May Day 10 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Thinking about it, that 7th year is a pot shot and really scary

Big Gun Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Good news. BTW did anybody hear the guy call in and tell Buddy Nix he was absolutely wrong? I was ROTFL Edited December 21, 2012 by billsbum
