They get up, have breakfast and take a bus to the stadium. They play a game and take a bus to the airport. That’s the same routine whether you are in Miami or Buffalo. The stadium, hotel, weather and visiting locker room are what they do not like. It has nothing to do with architecture, nightlife, restaurants, etc... 2

The Pegulas have plenty of money and getting free agents to come here hasn't really ever been much of a problem. exactly i want guys to hate coming here to play

I think the Bills moving the stadium to the city and on the waterfront could really speed that up and revitalize the entire city. I think the only way to revitalize Buffalo is via jobs.

I think those are already happening. i think you also have to retain your population. Can’t have kids going to college and never coming back. Or keep college kids who grad from UB and Buff State in Buffalo. I am not saying a stadium will solve everything but a happening downtown can attract more corporations.

Nightlife might not be glitzy, but it works for most of our players. Opposing players don’t get to experience much of anything. Edited January 25, 2020 by SirAndrew 1

And if they had hesitation even anonymously identifying individual players as overrated, there was no such kindness here. One player offered up four cities before being politely asked to choose the worst one. BUFFALO, yes, was the runaway winner, named by 10(!) players. “No charm, and all the negatives of Green Bay,” one player said. “Anywhere on the East Coast” was another response, declining to pick a single city. Said another who rarely leaves the hotel on the road: “I judge a city by the locker room, and Oakland has the worst.” Also receiving votes: Cincinnati (4) Green Bay (4) Oakland (4) Cleveland (3) They should get them to stay in Niagara Falls Ontario, plenty of great food places/ stripclubs and loads of 5star hotels.

May Day 10 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Im actually surprised it wasnt more than 10.
Utah John Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 Really, who cares what those players say? They don't know very much about any of the cities they go to.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 The poll probably had to be asked of players that lost games but n Buffalo. Where does Baltimore fit in? Green Bay and Minnesota in December is bad freezing cold.

As important: why is it an insult to be the worst nfl day trip for these guys? Is it meaningful in any way that the rams are not looking forward to flying into buffalo and praying it’s not late in the season? Does that insult the residents?
