BuffaloBill Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The Bills rank dead last. This only further substantiates the idea that the Pegula’s will probably have to receive fairly substantial public funding for a new stadium. The franchise (as a business) simply can’t generate enough operating income to suggest that a Billion dollar plus stadium needs to be paid for through the team’s profitability. The harsh reality is that Buffalo has an NFL team thanks to a bit of a fluke of history. 5 1 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuseBill Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 The bottom of the list are all teams that have never won a Super Bowl or not in a long time. Win a SB Buffalo and watch that valuation grow! Look what it did for Tampa Bay, according to the article. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many college programs if valued in a similar way would be higher then the Bills... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so either but dont think they arent going to leverage this, I certainly would if I were them. Austin is UT country for NFL it is 70% Cowboy with a sprinkiling of Texan fans, Jerry Jones doesnt want a team so close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 #32 in metro population if you include Milwaukee with GB, and one of the oldest stadiums in the league. It is what it is. They're not going anywhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just schedule for Dallas 'away' weeks?🤔😁 * EDIT: If the Bills were the Chargers, they probably wouldn't even have to sublet! Just sneak in, play, clean up, skulk out. Nobody watches the Chargers! 😁 Edited August 5, 2021 by Ridgewaycynic2013 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 2 minutes ago, Tortured Soul said: If they invested in an S&P fund instead, they'd have over $3 billion now. True. But we don’t know what they’ve made in profit from the Bills though (dividends are included in S&P returns). Those profits could’ve been reinvested in the S&P or something else. Plus owning the Bills likely had a positive impact on some of their other investments. And soon the team’s value will be further increased by the new (probably heavily subsidized) stadium. The ultimate answer of which would've been the better investment is very complicated and ever changing, but your point that it isn’t out of line with other investments is a good one. My main point was that even the lowest valued team in the league is doing pretty darn well, so buying an NFL team has been a very safe and very profitable investment. I think that’s hard to argue against. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but when's the last time the missus got to dress up an S&P fund in those red pajama uniforms? You just can't put a price on some things. 😁 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it wasn't meant as a serious point, just some context. I actually left out dividends - if they reinvested dividends, they'd have $3.4 billion.

H2o Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 See, the lowest valued franchise in the NFL. This is why Terry wants you to foot the bill on his new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clearwater cadet Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Does team value include the stadium, the Erie County owns the stadium not the bills, I'm assuming the the cowboys, Rams, etc own there own stadiums so if you purchase them you would be buying the stadium as well?

Buffalo716 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) The bills have more operating income than Cincinnati, Tennessee, Cleveland , and Arizona , and giants and bears and jets And these are estimates. You're worth what somebody's willing to pay... The bills were valued at a lot less than what Terry pagula paid for us Edited August 5, 2021 by Buffalo716 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
