HopefulFuture Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Savior of Buffalo. In more ways then many here will ever realize. As I "speculated" for a while now, there is more here at stake than just a couple of sports franchises. There is much more to come. And not just Pegula, other power brokers are in as well with the overall region. Look where Paladino positioned himself. As I speculated, look beyond just the obvious sports situation, there is a bigger picture developing for WNY. Its a Hopeful Future
Kellyto83TD Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 That can only be good news. He is now liquid for another $1.75B. I guess you are forgetting taxes on that sale?
Kirby Jackson Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) I guess you are forgetting taxes on that sale? We have already discussed the capital gains on it. Please feel free to read Bring Back Fergy's explanation on how it will be deferred. Once you finish with that go find someone else's Cheerios to piss in because most of us here are in too good of a mood at the moment. Edited June 12, 2014 by Kirby Jackson
Mike in Horseheads Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Maybe everybody will get off TPegs and the Sabres. We know he's NOT CHEAP just had to learn $$ isn't everything in sports and the Sabres will be a force in a few years. He has shown his commitment to the city with his investments in the hotel/hockey complex. Maybe Golisano and Pegs are going all in and I'm all in. No debt service is awesome!

sodbuster Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Again I ask.....while I def want the team in Buffalo....will this prevent the mistakes that have been keeping this team down for the past 10 plus years? I ask because I dont know? I got a letter in the mail today: Crappy football is better than no football. Yours truly, Cleveland fans
It's in My Blood Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Just want to say, told ya so! ~ I guess my source/client was right a few years ago. Best news I've heard in awhile. Pegula would become an instant legend in WNY if he pulls through. Love it man!!
Heitz Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Ha ha, I am just waiting for the "What if an asteroid hits" thread from Tasker's Ghost. That'll only happen when we're about to win the Super Bowl. Probably the 2020 Super Bowl played on the brand new Ralph Wilson Field at Gieco Stadium in Downtown Buffalo.

5 Wide Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Outside of securing the future of the team, Pegula really has the chance to literally be the singular person who rejuvinated a city. His harborcenter project is the anchor tenant to the rejuvination of the canalside region. The options available to him for putting together a sports and entertainment complex inside the city as part of a new stadium deal is a generational development for everyone, not just football fans.

Well stated.

Buffalo = Pegulaville, NY!

I lived in Phoenix when the owner of the Suns, Jerry Colangelo, literally, single-handedly, revived the entire downtown area, which is now bustling. It was dying a slow death before he came in and started with the arena being built downtown, and then a couple restaurants, then a few other businesses, and then boom. Granted, Phoenix isn't Buffalo, but at the time, everywhere was booming around the outskirts and suburbs of the city, and the neighboring cities of Scottsdale and Tempe, and absolutely zero was happening in downtown. One guy changed all that, and Pegula could do it in Buffalo.
metzelaars_lives Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 You have seen the light sir If seeing the light means realizing that this guy puts a negative spin on everything related to the Bills staying in Buffalo to the point where it's comedic and I can't even tell if he's trolling, then yes, I saw the light about two months ago.
