Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) $$$1.4 Billion is a heck of a lot of scratch, and I would think it will lead to Mr. Pegula going into 'Jerry Jones' mode, at least to some extent, and explore more opportunities to bring in revenue. Renaming the stadium seems like the logical first step Edited September 9, 2014 by Gavin in Va Beach

sullim4 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'd be totally fine if they sold the name. Rich Stadium, anyone? Has a certain ring to it.

BigBuff423 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I would be surprised, given Pegula's apparent sense for honor, if the current stadium was re-named anything other than Ralph Wilson Stadium. However, as the NFL has continually pushed for a new stadium, and is most likely to occur at some point in the next 9 years, *THAT* stadium's name is very much up in the air and generating naming rights does sound like a good business move.

I agree that it would be in poor taste to do it immediately or even this season, but next season would not surprise me. Edited September 9, 2014 by Gavin in Va Beach
B-Man Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Simple. Leave it the Ralph for now. Build a brand new stadium downtown..............sell those naming rights. Build a plaza outside with a Ralph Wilson Statue to honor his contribution to Buffalo
JimBob2232 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 You gotta keep the Wilson name on it.... you can have a sponsor and do both (for example, Wilson Field at Paychex stadium, etc.).
stevestojan Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 They could name it "Everyone in these seats is an !@#$" stadium and I'd be fine with it, as it will be in WNY.
The Big Cat Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 What about New Era Stadium? May be you heard it here first.

Snorom Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I could care less Ralph is gone.. We move on. I'm not much on sentimental stuff
machine gun kelly Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I don't care who buys the naming rights and hope some company steps up. Let Pegula make some money as he over paid for the team, and thank God for El Pegul. I hope he and the state can figure out a deal for a downtown stadium, and a company stands up and buys the rights. Man it is a good week to be a Bills fan. I hope like hell there is something as one thread mentioned for Kelly and for the announcement of Pegula at the game. Can it get any better? Kelly is cancer free, Pegula gets the team, therefore talks in place for a state of the art stadium although early, we beat the Bears in their house, EJ looked sharp, the new acquisitions were so much fun to watch this weekend, and we get to SQUISH THE FISH for the Home Opener. I'm taking the boys up for the game from Tampa, so it will be so sweet.
The Big Cat Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I could care less Ralph is gone.. We move on. I'm not much on sentimental stuff Your last sentence is redundant.

bobobonators Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Simple. Leave it the Ralph for now. Build a brand new stadium downtown..............sell those naming rights. Build a plaza outside with a Ralph Wilson Statue to honor his contribution to Buffalo Sounds perfect to me.
