A the current rate, the "tailgating issue" may be a great incentive to move stadium downtown and stop the tailgating once and for all! (At least on public property) If I was a betting person, I would say that is exactly what they do. So - break them while you can, breakers. You are the ones that will kill it for everyone.

Buffalo is the way it is because of our loyal, die hard fan base take away the tailgating and you take away EVERYTHING that represents Bills fans because that’s what separates us it is a tradition that goes back to the beginning of the Bills Put the stadium downtown and get ready for crazy high prices, PSLs, 5 hour traffic jams and still drunk ***holes

That doesn't mean they WILL move, but it doesn't mean they WON'T either. Exactly. It is also telling the college that if there are issues they may reconsider the decision. While the Bills do pay for use of college I believe the PR to college is more important than the payment. The Bills and college have had issues in past and they need to understand there is a new person who will be making decision now, a person not as linked as the Bills ex-president was.
Doc Posted May 5, 2018 Posted May 5, 2018 They won't break the lease with 4 years left. But after that, there are no guarantees SJF gets it again. I think Kim would like to keep it in Rochester, though. What would be a good alternative? U of R?

Polian or ?) to come in and groom her to be the eventual Club President......he referred to the Bills in the Inner Circle as "her baby"........the unexpected Marrone exodus turned everything upside down so they stuck with Whaley and Brandon who were under contract anyway.....

It is of benefit in any contract changes for SJF to understand that if SJF chooses not to make changes then Bills have a right to exercise clause allowing them to break lease. I am not suggesting they WILL do it just that they CAN if they needed to and given reason to. Brandon would never have done that and IMO had a conflict of interest.

I said IF McDermott was still HC when the contract renewal came up, then he'd have input, but he'd have to do something spectacular -- like winning the SB -- in order to completely override competing considerations as to where hold TC. I don't believe that the Pegulas are going to cede the right to make what is essentially a business decision to a head coach unless he does something spectacular. Sorry, I misread you as saying McDermott would be gone in two years if he didn't win a Super Bowl.

26CornerBlitz Posted May 11, 2018 Author Posted May 11, 2018 ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills are keeping their training camp at St. John Fisher College in suburban Rochester. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer says Friday he's been assured by the NFL team there are no plans to make a change. The Bills have four years left on the current agreement.

The campus is surrounded by a river and a cemetery. Not sure which would be harder to move. Plus the dorms aren’t that great.
