I believe this is a leverage play and they chose Austin deliberatly....knew it would get alot of traction, and seems feasable to alot of people. It's one of the few cities that would probably hapily build a stadium......just leverage.... As I said before....the NFL isn't interested in any more domestic movement....it doen'st help teh TV contract. Or the inside source could be Kansas City trying to stir up trouble for opponents this year. Keep them off balance responding to crazy attacks. No way to tell although some trolls will cite the Pegulas.

They built Jerry-World for the same price in 2009! They built US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis in 2016 for the same price!! Is our quote based on today's post-pandemic, material-shortage prices? Kickbacks and payoffs? Don't worry. It might be the same layout, but I'm hearing we'll have gold plated piss troughs. 1 2

If it weren’t for McD, this team would probably still be mediocre. For all the good they do for Buffalo, the Pegulas aren’t very good at actually running sports franchises. You mean if it weren’t for Allen?😉

It’s really the only leverage the owners have in negotiations for public money. Not defending Pegulas, but not ready to bring out the pitchforks yet either. 1 1

section122 Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 41 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: The Pegulas never actually are quoted as threatening to move. Read the quote carefully. You don't have to worry about the team moving. But this type of talk is a part of stadium negotiations for whatever reason. It's going to be about a year before anything is finalized so be prepared. These talks get ugly at times. I know it is all negotiation but it is irritating none the less. I know they aren't moving and I do understand the business side of this. Pegula's have put a lot of money into the complex so I do feel very confident that they will remain in OP/Buffalo. I guess I'm just worn out. Toronto was held over our head for a long time. We had to hear how lucky we were to have a team, one that was poorly run and "cash to cap." We supported a less than good product for many years. Like I said in my last post, I don't know why this bothers me so much. It may be timing with Covid, or maybe just irritation of footing the bill for a billionaire, or disappointment that Pegs is using the relocation threat, or it's Monday and I'm ornery lol.

If only he could give some lessons on perspective to WGR radio hosts. They got their panties in a twit(ter) after article. He did neglect to mention the negotiator was owned by Jerry Jones even though he mentioned Jerry Jones. 1

The 9 Isles Posted August 2, 2021 Posted August 2, 2021 If only people would get this worked up over multi-trillion dollar infrastructure bills that include almost no money for infrastructure. At least this would bring some joy and and you would have a physical representation of the money versus what is usually buried deep in massive government spending bills. 1 1

An article which has been changed multiple times with even title changed. 1
