Doc Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) If STL wins, it gives the Pegulas (the threat of) a potential market that will have the money to build a new stadium outright. But I think they and the county/state will work something out that will be to most everyone's satisfaction. Edited October 28, 2021 by Doc Quote

And if they do the NFL won’t give them a new team. They’ve lost 2 already https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/buffalo/news/2021/10/27/hochul--bills-stadium-study-expected-to-be-released-in-a-few-days Quote

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Just curious, I've attended a handful of Bills games over the years, haven't been to one in 13 years since moved south. (Well, did go to one in Charlotte) They are talking about building one across Abbott Rd, is anything on that land now? Does anything much need to be closed and land purchased to build there, like isn't the Big Tree Inn over there? Not very familiar with exact location, when I did go to games, usually came in from the east side, down and back up the big ravine from what I recall. Quote

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2021/10/29/22751172/buffalo-bills-terry-kim-pegula-prioritizing-tailgating-with-new-stadium-orchard-park Raccuia goes on to say that the Pegulas prefer to build an open-air stadium in Orchard Park, and one of the biggest reasons (aside from the prohibitive cost of a downtown stadium) is preserving the Bills’ unique pre-game atmosphere and the time-honored traditions of tailgating in Western New York. Moving the stadium 🏟 downtown would mean saying goodbye to the vibrant fan experience Bills Mafia has come to know and love in Orchard Park, as fans would be forced to park in smaller lots located in different spots across downtown, as opposed to the vast parking lots currently available near the Orchard Park stadium. “Tailgating is who we are as a fan base and as a community,” Raccuia said. “It’s just not possible downtown, and our fans overwhelmingly say they want tailgating.” Quote
LeGOATski Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 This guy Raccuia doesn't pull any punches. And they're absolutely right about the tailgating aspect. 1 Quote
