Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Let's hope that the Bills don't do anything as stupid as this: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/04/sports/baseball/miami-marlins-sale.html NFL stadiums require a ton of parking... If the bills move downtown it would be a nightmare for infrastructure purposes. If I had to guess I'd say - maybe Conway park for the stadium location. Or rip out the perry projects? Or both? You'd be able to use much of the existing parking from the hockey stadium, and could build a couple large lots to maybe maintain some of the tailgating tradition.

jr1 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I assume all of them except Jerry Jones & legacies like Rooney, Mara, Davis want to flip their teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 MLB chose Miami over Buffalo years ago. How's that working out. Makes me wonder how successful a National League team would have been in Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonabb Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Was told over the weekend by someone in construction and in the know that his contact in facilities (mgmt level) with the Bills said the stadium topic right now is non-existent and they are happy with where they are with these latest/ongoing improvements. Sounds to me like the Pegulas a) don't care about the Jones and Kraft's of the world pressuring them into something they don't need and is not going to change the market here and b) this current lease is likely to be extended. Shoot the messenger if you will, I have 100% certainty the info is spot on. Edited July 5, 2017 by zonabb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep working on the concourses and there are no better sightlines in the league. Yes, I've been to almost every NFL stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could watch highlights from other games and check scores with no speed issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 The Raiders deal in Las Vegas is almost the same. Their taxing the tourist and giving Davis full revenue http://deadspin.com/the-raiders-robbed-las-vegas-in-americas-worst-stadium-1795475973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I live in south Florida and the media is all over Loria and team president Samson. They are world class douches as Stuvian stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could certainly expand the perimeter even more and add other food and drink options, maybe a sports bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I've been there. It is a nice stadium. I really enjoyed the game and it was a good atmosphere if less crowded than I'd like to see. Some towns just don't support their teams, Miami is much bigger than Milwaukee but a Brewers game is a blast, well attended and with a very good environment for a baseball fan even if my Cardinals dominate them on the regular. I do agree that Marlins Park is surrounded by parking lots and right in a neighborhood. I might have missed it but did not see a nearby area with restaurants, ,etc. I also agree that the deal sounds like BS and that many of the owners of professional sports teams are extorting their towns, I think the NFL guys are the worst among them. Fat drunk Kraft, Jones, Snyder and McNair are my least favorite among them because they seem to be the drivers trying to coerce other owners into extorting their towns. Eff them.
