Whoa whoa whoa.  Are you suggesting that the news from unnamed sources in a crappy ESPN article might not be credible?

Exactly. Has anyone in the media mentioned the fact that the Sabres will never be able to function in Buffalo again if the Bills move? There is NO chance that a Pegula-owned Sabres team could ever survive if the Bills move, and the Pegulas are not moving the Sabres. This is such a non-story.

If I can.

 

Criminal justice system is best source for public funding.

Royalita with Cheese...mmm, cheese.

 

Wow, if you think it reads creepy you should have heard me when I said it out loud in my office just now while using my "Rico Suave" voice.

That's fine. We already have too many women posting here anyway. That will even up the score a bit.

Did you say it loud enough where everyone could hear you?

If you take me on date for dinner, I'm only doing it for the free meal.  Hands to yourself.

To be fair the Pegula camp is saying the $1.1 billion figure in the Sunday article is not accurate.

PSE employee would not confirm if the amount was more or less than 1.1 bil.  It could be 1.09 bil, or it could be 1.5 bil. 😉

I will personally contribute money to the cost of Royale's "change".  My only condition is that we get before and after full frontal photos posted on this site.  And there better be some Cheese Whiz involved.

For tax payers are you talking about residents or businesses?   Both pay taxes.

 

And Erie County is current leaser and one who will pay for cleanup when Rich Stadium is closed.

What makes you think Buffalo will be willing to absorb costs of a stadium since they are not contributing now?

 

By the way there are more tax payers in Erie County than Buffalo and Buffalo has been getting a free ride with hotel and restaurant revenues when Bills play.

 

The county also spends about $40 million per year on roads in the suburbs and none in the city. If this stadium will be built in OP, they should just push those roads back to the towns (Aurora, Newstead, Clarence, etc.) and that would roughly fund the County's share on a 20 year bond.

AirBnB! Another revenue stream! Imagine being able to stay AT the stadium!

Living Suites that have a stadium view would be amazing. Could be a way to offset the concern that normal game day suites would be hard to sell out because the lack of companies (at least that's I've heard many times when talking about a new stadium)

 

The biggest thing would be a way for people to go in/out that doesn't interfere with the stadium/team operations (can't see the team practicing (or whatever) before a game). Maybe some type of retractable wall/cover that prevents the suite from seeing the field when its being used by the team other then the actual game.

I never understood where the $140 million for the 'upgrade' went.

A bunch of boulders, some zig zag paths, and a lot of black paint.
