Tcali Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 they should work out something with the Tuscarora Indian tribe on their land in niagara county.Could be very advantageous. tribe would get wealthy. Could be a native american theme park with visitors from around the world.-wouldnt just sit there dead offseason like most stadiums do. easier access for canadians and rochesterians. 55 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: IF the Bills have any intention of building a new stadium downtown or otherwise, I assume there is no need to put in another dime in renovation costs on New Era Field. That would make me assume that if additional renovations occur on NEF, the Bills are staying put. Right? makes sense

I'm guessing we get a big reveal on stadium plans around training camp time or season tickets time. The NFL better plan to pony up too. It’ll be a mix of state, county, NFL and the Pegulas that will get it done.

Being they just did some renovation work a short while back, i think you may be right on that, I sure would like a city location but they sure as hell aren’t asking my opinion, ?

njbuff Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 My question would be where exactly would they put a new stadium?
BigBuff423 Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I don’t know if I’m in the minority here, but this comes as no shock to me. Given Pegula’s determination to see the process through with getting recommendations regarding location and stadium build ideas, and that nothing has been started to this point toward construction, it was a foregone conclusion they would need to see the lease through. This provides a 3 year window to get it all together and opened. Makes sense to me and despite all of the money invested over the last seven years, those were necessary changes to keep the stadium and its facilities at a professional level, they were not indications that the Bills / Pegulas would not build a new one. Personally, I think a dome is on its way - and it should be. 1
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Short of relocating to St. Louis, Oakland or San Diego and occupy their old stadiums, what other options would the Bills' have on short notice?
Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Is Gregg Brandon related to Russ? Sorry, no mention on Russ's Wikipedia page.

Poloncarz can do all the gesturing he wants, but in the end he will bow to King Pegula. And the state should kick in as well. Buffalo Bills are New York state's only team. 6 hours ago, Tortured Soul said: I thought Gregg Brandon was out with Russ. 4 minutes ago, Giuseppe Tognarelli said: Is Gregg Brandon related to Russ?

They will need two years to do whatever they are planning for 2023, when the lease expires. Greg Brandon is better at writing letters then id be. I would just say, "Hey Mark, just wanted to give you a heads up, we are staying in New Era Field for 3 more years. Have a great weekend!" 1 2

eanyills Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) 36 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Perry Projects. That would link Canalside development to Larkinville. That would make a lot of sense. The City of Buffalo/BMHA have been essentially neglecting that entire site since the redevelopment plans a bunch of years back fell through. With the Old First Ward neighborhood improving and a connector to Canalside and the Outer Harbor, I can easily see the city loving a massive project to replace housing projects. The only issue is parking, it’s still part of the urban core. There cannot/should not be any new sprawling surface lots so that will be interesting. If they go this route, they’re going to get a hell of a pushback from affordable housing advocates and other social justice groups, though. Edited February 1, 2020 by eanyills
