There has been talk of a baseball stadium between the 2 cities but have not heard of a football stadium.
red hots Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Also whos to say Jerry Jones isn't actually for this either? Sooner or later a team is going to be in that region whether a team relocates there or an expansion team appears. Might as well get it done in a way that suits him getting a slice of the concessions and catering.
Solomon Grundy Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 This is what happens when the Pegula’s see how Bills Mafia mounts up and donate to charities 1 4
strive_for_five_guy Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 To the Pegulas if the team is ever moved out of Buffalo. 1

They’re staying in Buffalo, everyone on this board needs to calm down and relax. 2
billsfan714 Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Oh NFL overlords, blackmail, higher taxes and tens of thousands to by paid in new PSL's, you treat us too well.

Jpsredemption Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Also just so everyone knows Pro Football Talk loves to stir up move rumors when it comes to any team but esp the Bills. Throughout their history this is what Florio has done at any sign of stadium discussion. 1 1

But I can’t get behind billionaires asking for billions in a billion dollar industry so that they can keep making billions, while still in the thwarts of a pandemic. Meanwhile some are still struggling to get by and ultimately he’s asking for their tax dollars to keep money in his pocket. 1 1
ColoradoBills Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Not going to happen. Kim would threaten to divorce Terry. Terry's response would be: Happy Wife, Happy Life.
Dablitzkrieg Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 The thought of them moving makes me sick to my stomach. I don't know what I'd do. It sucks
Rc2catch Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 New York is such a crooked and shady state.. I need more than this one article to get worried. I think it’s extremely smart to begin negotiations this way. I haven’t browsed too many numbers and I’m certainly not a know it all about this stuff but I’d like to think if they can get 500-600 million funded the stadium will be a go and they can make it work. You got to make the threats and show other cities will pony up though. It’s the price you gotta pay to be small market and have a team. 1

It sucks It’s 99% unlikely to happen, but I’ll be honest… this report just drained me of all my excitement for the upcoming season. Im sure my excitement will return, and I’m sure some clarifications on the story will come out as the season comes closer, but what a kick in the d**k story to read today. Even worse is all the pot stirring from sports outlets like PFT. Edited August 1, 2021 by SCBills 1

It sucks I know what I would do. I would turn my back and walk away, just like I did when the Braves left Buffalo. I barely even watch the NBA until the Finals. Having said that, I don’t see them going anywhere so I’m not losing any sleep over it. A compromise will be reached that will cause a certain amount of angst on both sides. That’s usually the outcome of a fair deal. . Edited August 1, 2021 by Augie 4

It sucks I get it... But it's a negotiating tactic... I was wondering how this was going to work. NY is broke, and we are still in the middle of a pandemic. How can the "guy who saved the Bills" get public money? If you're stance is that you'll never move the team then there is no pressure on the state. What's the difference then? Pegula: we want a billion dollars NY: no Edited August 1, 2021 by TheFunPolice 2
BuffBillsForLife Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 If the Bills ever relocate that would be it for me, I would be done with football outside of maybe watching the superbowl. As a side note, the city of St. Louis is currently wondering why a potential relocation would be to Austin.
TheFunPolice Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Also, the thought of the Bills moving is crack to Florio... Someone in WNY must have read broken his heart in the past... I wouldn't put much stock in his tweets on this 5

I appreciate that the Pegulas bought the Bills and built a marvelous new training center and hired a GM and coach who seem to have turned the thing around. But they are multi-billionaires with mansions and a yacht. If they need $1.54 billion of taxpayer money as the price of keeping the team in Buffalo , Nuts. 3 3

I suppose looking at the Mets/Yankees stadiums could be a blueprint, but what - if any - implications could y’all potentially electing a socialist mayor have? Doesn’t matter who the mayor is. They are kicking in nothing. The city of Buffalo is in no position to help in any way, shape or form. Edited August 1, 2021 by BTB 4
