But I’d say that gives reason to be worried. Could steal this thing right out from under us
RocCityRoller Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 Well we did see stadium renderings in this thread. For Tennessee..... The OP had me in the first half.

Looks like there’s restaurants, bars, outside patio areas. Oh, and a dome that would ensure people going to the games in the winter time. But we’ve all argued that before. Instead we’ll get just a plain stadium and nobody wants to do anything or will do anything almost half of the football season. Over half if we’re lucky enough to host some home playoff games. Which is a rarity for this organization minus about 9 years worth of football. So, you wish Buffalo was Nashville. Got it. On the other hand, this is why the stadium will cost half as much.

No. I wish the City of Buffalo and surrounding areas made smart decisions when it comes to things like this. and it’s not twice as much so I don’t know what to tell you about match that you should already know as an adult, But 1.4x2 is not 2.1

Not sure what you think a downtown stadium is supposed look like. It appears to have lots of plazas and balconies for restaurants etc which would seem very appropriate for its context. The architects are trying to engage the surrounding neighborhood. Which is really hard to do with a building that’s inherently inward focused. And…Since it has a roof you’re not going to see tall stadium light poles. If that’s what you were expecting. Everyone has their own tastes bro

As someone else mentioned, since this involves taxpayer money I wonder if they're all waiting until after a certain date in November. Doesn't make it right. It's either that or something has gone terribly wrong that they're trying to fix. 1
RiotAct Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 I apologize for bringing this up, but Kim Pegula’s health condition wouldn’t have anything to do with the delay, would it?

Doubtful. It's the election. There's hope that the far right will win a few races and throw a wrench into the budget. 1

It should have been at least a thought a few weeks after that.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 I wonder if the whole stadium project could get derailed? Between the Community Impact agreement and some politicians like Lee Zeldin opposing using public money.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 The "Just one before I die" crowd might get their wish this year, and then the Bills will move. 1 1

I’m guessing they were reading this thread and are getting antsy as well. Lots of talk about the public domain of some businesses in southwestern and abbot. Lots of talk about it not being a lock yet because of possible political changes. Now I’ve got to go into work and won’t be able to listen but that was the first 20+ minutes of the show. 1
