K D Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 What "them" planned this? The Pegulas? Maybe they actually had to, oh, I don't know, BUY THE TEAM FIRST. great, that was sept 17. i'm just happy it's getting done. by "bout time!" i'm saying "yes this is a good thing and i'm glad it's finally happening"
BillnutinHouston Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Does this piece get moved when a new stadium is built? Was that a serious question?
BillnutinHouston Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Haha not really Cool. This will be an awesome project and we should have suspected that the Pegulas would be all over it. Complete class in every sense of the word.
Peter Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Very classy. Not surprising given how classy the Pegulas are.
Mike in Horseheads Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Pegula got a deal on the Joe Paterno statue and is having it touched up a bit.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Pegula got a deal on the Joe Paterno statue and is having it touched up a bit. Terry is Cheap.
Hammered a Lot Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Guys it will be moveable Please don't be dumb You are Right it will be movable. But where it will be placed it will be out of the way for when they Retro the Ralph.
May Day 10 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I always said that if the Bills stayed post-Mr Wilson, I would lead the movement for a statue. I guess I didnt need to.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Does anyone have the pic of Ralph with Thurman that the statue will be based on? CBF
The Tomcat Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Does anyone have the pic of Ralph with Thurman that the statue will be based on? CBF I asked the same thing to the PR staff via twitter without any response. I googled it as well and still can't find it if its out there. Maybe its a personal photo. I look forward to seeing it.
Nanker Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) He'll be wearing a trench coat, I'll bet. Edited March 26, 2015 by Nanker
Wacka Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 He died on my b-day last year. They announced it on that anniversary. Petula bought the team in September. It takes a while to nake a state. Also the weather has been cruddy and they won't install anything until the weather is nice. Don't worry. it should be in place for the season.
tombstone56 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) kinda curious who will make the statue.. Their was a former player named MIKE HAMBY who is a excellent sculptor. At one point his statue of two charging buffalo was in consideration to be built in scale proportion at the RALPH ,I believe JIM KELLY has the bronze original. I think its name "I ST AND TEN"?I lways thought that it would look great at the stadium front ...broncos have something like that at their stadium but with horses .

Talley56 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Does this piece get moved when a new stadium is built? Was that a serious question? I think it's a legit question. Is the Ralph going to stay once they build a new stadium or will it get torn down and replaced with a Wegman's? If it's going to stay why not keep the statue there?
KD in CA Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Pegula got a deal on the Joe Paterno statue and is having it touched up a bit. That's kinda funny. I hope they go with an image of young Ralph. Like AFL days.
HailMary Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Our own Statue of Liberty in Western NY. Sweeeeeet.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Our own Statue of Liberty in Western NY. Sweeeeeet. There's already a statue of the French Connection outside the arena. And when I was home, there was another statue near the 716. Tim Horton I think?
San-O Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 So when they make it of plastic, Ralph will finally really be cheap. Why do I find it amusing that it will " stand on the Northwest corner near the team store", gift shop???
chris heff Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Can't find picture being used for the statue, anyone else have any luck?
