mrags Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Lincoln Field is moving to Hamilton where it will be domed and serve as the new home of the Bills. what will happen to the UNLV Rebels then? They will surely be moved out of the Thomas and Mack center if that happens.
Major Mud Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 they are building the new dome in Philadelphia? But they already have Lincoln Financial Field. They sold the naming rights, it's now "Kitten Mittons Field" SIC
Whites Bay Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Agreed, this seems to good to be true. Pegula would be the best owner ever for the Buffalo Bills. There is no better choice. But...that nice Mr. Trump fellow seemed so honest and sincere.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 what will happen to the UNLV Rebels then? They will surely be moved out of the Thomas and Mack center if that happens. Sterling will build them a new arena with the proceeds from his NBA lawsuit. He needs a new team.
sodbuster Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 They sold the naming rights, it's now "Kitten Mittons Field" SIC The whole place is getting retrofitted to run on garbage. Going green.

DNC gaming interests prevent owning NFL team @wgrz Adam Benigni @adambenigni · 3m Source tells me discussions have taken place in connection with potential Pegula bid, where Pegula owns team, Jacobs DNC leads stadium @wgrz AP sources: Bruins family mulls Bills stadium: http://pro32.ap.org/...s-bills-stadium The family of Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs is proposing to build a stadium to help secure the Buffalo Bills' long-term future in the region, two people involved in discussions told The Associated Press. Executives of Jacobs' Buffalo-based Delaware North hospitality and management company are to meet with at least one prospective ownership group and members of a firm hired by New York state to evaluate potential new stadium sites in Erie and Niagara counties, the people said.
yall Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 "You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boys soul, you gotta pay the troll toll to get in." It sounds like you're saying "boys hole". As an aside, if El Pegula does end up buying the Bills, it's my sincere hope this goes down as the single best, most epic, feel-good thread in TBD history.

bbb Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 AP sources: Bruins family mulls Bills stadium: http://pro32.ap.org/...s-bills-stadium I can't really picture this. Is there any other situation where one guy builds the stadium and another owns the team? (PS - I haven't read the article yet, in case I sound stupid!)
Captain Caveman Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 "You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boys soul, you gotta pay the troll toll to get in." I'm not sure about the rape scene.
jimmy10 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 DO you think El Pegual would move Penn State to Hamilton? Can El Pegual Gordo own both the Hamilton Bills of College Park and the Sabres? Now we're talking international, multi-jurisdictional matters. The tax returns would be ridiculous. You can't own a professional sports team AND a public university in neighboring states. Read a book or somethin.
transient Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I'm not sure about the rape scene. Keep singing B word. You're not gonna have a face by the time I'm done with you.
kasper13 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Depends who pays for or finances the stadium so the city or county usually owns the stadium. Arlington owns AT&T Stadium in Dallas. Erie County owns Ralph Wilson Stadium. City of Green Bay owns Lambeau Field. I really don't know of any privately built stadiums off the top of my head. Not sure how that would work. If Jacobs pays for the new stadium does he own it and then leases it to the Bills? Who own the Chiefs? Owwwwnnns, Owwwwwwns, Should find out soon.
BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Plus you can own two teams in two different cities, they just can't play their games there. Hellllooooo??? Finally someone sees my point about Hamilton Ontario.
transient Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 What about the NFL bylaw that states you can't own a stadium in one city while owning a professional sports team in another if the NFL team that will be playing in said stadium is owned by an owner who owns multiple regional sports teams, and one of them happens to be a lacrosse team?

You can if the buyout clause in a lease is less than $200M, which ours is.
HopefulFuture Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I can't really picture this. Is there any other situation where one guy builds the stadium and another owns the team? (PS - I haven't read the article yet, in case I sound stupid!) Seymor Knox secured 67.5 million dollars of the original 127 million to build FNC (at the time known as Crossroads Arena). It is widely known 55 million of that came from Jeremy Jacobs. In return, Jacobs firm gets the vending contracts, which are much more lucrative over the life span of an arena of this stature (normally slated for 50 years). Jacobs will most certainly be in on any stadium built for the Bills, those contracts are worth their weight in gold.

There are certain guarantees made to parties that put up the capitol necessary. And there is no promises his money will be accepted either, but, the option does exist.

Jacobs will most certainly be in on any stadium built for the Bills, those contracts are worth their weight in gold. Because the stadium will be in Buffalo, and Delaware North is in Buffalo, and the Jacobs family has a longstanding good tradition in Buffalo, wouldn't the concession contract for Sportservice almost automatically go to them whether they were involved in building of the stadium or not?
