Johnnycage46 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 So, if Erie County owns the Bills' stadium...do the Bills have zero say in the naming rights? So, for instance, as outrageous as it would be, if some company bid to name the stadium "Tom Brady" stadium...and for whatever reason, Erie County approved it, the Bills would just be stuck with that name? Again, ridiculous scenario, but I imagine there is a potential for a stadium name that the Bills organization would not like...
RiotAct Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 I’m all for it. Lot better than being named after an ass-washing device.

Stank_Nasty Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Barstool Stadium...... Another beautifual day at "The Barstool"... .... headed to The Barstool for the game.... I DIG IT
machine gun kelly Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 So we can call this the Stool Bowl, or the Toilet Bowl, or hey let’s get a nuclear waste removal company to call it the Chernobyl Bowl. How about Amazon or Apple and we call it a day. Considering they are two of richest multi-national companies in the world and is a blip on their radar. We go deep in the playoffs, and considering we have four prime time games, and two more at 4 pm without flexing which is like prime time light, We have enough recognition, one of the big guys might consider. I’m sure BP would like some positive press next year, and we play the NFCS and AFCS next year. Not exactly happy about the pub a few years ago. They are a monster and could easily afford it. Monster companies who get their name plastered all over tv are the one who can easily write off and if we make the playoffs three out of four years and this t8me go deep, we have promise to these boards.

Possible, but I am sure that the contract would specify the name, and wouldn't be, "Here is $5 million, we will name it what we will name it". Unsure how that generally works. If it is a bid on a county contract, unsure how the county then declines the highest/lowest bidder. It is a reasonably point to bring up, but I would actually think with Brady gone and how much Portnoy hates Goodell, if he did something like that he would push for something like "Goodell is a Clown Stadium". 1

aristocrat Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 They tried to get a Bowl a game a few years ago and had an agreement in place but the NCAA stopped it.

Cheektowaga Chad Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 Ive always thought Penn national had the idea to bring on bar stool to help advance its sports gambling. This would be a step in that direction Weren't the senecas or fan duel/draft kings trying to set up in the stadium? Or am I making things up? Because while they may not get naming rights but it may open doors for other ventures
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Barstool and Portnoy are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine. I do believe he is serious. He almost always puts his money where his mouth is. If for no other reason than he doesn't want to be called out for not following through. I have no doubt Barstool has the money to do it and I have no doubt it'd be something he'd want for his company. He is a Patriots fan. But as you can see above, he loves Bills Mafia and the Buffalo Barstool community (which is large). He'll make calls and pursue it... until the league shuts it down. He won the auction to watch MNF with Goodell and they wouldn't even let him do that. So I can't imagine they'd be cool with a Barstool NFL stadium. Though in the small chance that the league and the state government all okay'ed it - I would not be shocked to see Kim Pegula and Barstool CEO Erika Nardini really hitting it off.

thenorthremembers Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 52 minutes ago, Mango said: Dave Portnoy is a tough guy for me to pin down. He is absolutely a "bro-ey" arse hat. Huge pats fan. I think he has created a bit of a toxic culture around him and pushes that out with his "stoolies" But he is also a pretty smart (or at least smart enough?) dude, the guy hustles a ton. Some of his content is pretty good. He has created an empire for himself and by himself. Portnoy has been reasonably kind to Buffalo. Some ragging as a pats fan, but largely likes the Bills and us as fans. He also HATES Goodell. So I am sure he is absolutely itching to get his name on any NFL stadium. I am torn on this one. Nothing to be torn about. You're 100% correct. The guy has worked his tail off to make his money, and I think a lot of the hate people have for the guy is jealousy because he made hundreds of million dollars just being a regular guy. I dont care for a lot of the content, some of it is too much for me, but I see no reason his brand shouldnt be considered.

It’s not all simple jealousy. They’ve done some very questionable things in the past. 2

I don't know or care how much money he makes - I don't hate rich people at all. Good for him. I dislike him because he acts like the quintessential annoying American college bro d-bag. He has a history of demeaning women. His humor isn't funny. He sucks up to Trump. He's just a super-douche. He represents everything I can't stand about our culture. 3
