Also, move training camp back to OP, and fill it for a month with 100 man training camp roster. Even then, they still have a problem with vacancy the other 300 or so days of the year. I was just commenting on the clown from WGRZ who made the comparison between Patriot Place and what might end up adjacent to the stadium. Does Patriot Pl have an indoor water park. A Great Wolf Lodge would be year round. I would like to invest in that. Also, add a IMAX, TopGolf, ice rinks, electric go-carts, roller coaster, and Dave and Busters. Think mini Mall of America. I guess I’m the idea man. 1 Quote

But I live in a town of 10,000 people. We have 3 auto parts stores, 8 banks, 4 pharmacies, 3 gun shops, and what seems like 150 storage cube rentals. Quote

Einstein Posted October 3 Posted October 3 2 hours ago, LabattBlue said: They still need developers($$$) to invest regardless of hotel/restaurant/entertainment. To start with, they have to purchase the land and go from there. In case you didn’t notice, all the nearby property owners are looking to strike gold in a sale. You really think these town council hacks are that smart, and know ahead of time what is coming? It is not like it was a huge investment of time by the town to rezone some parcels. These type of sudden zoning changes often come because the deal to build something is already done. You just don’t know about it. 1 1 Quote

You just don’t know about it. The vast majority of Buffalo's hotels are 2-4 stories anyway. What has prevented a developer from building "1 or 2" in OP near the stadium already? 12 hours ago, without a drought said: I wonder if this can be as big of a deal as let's say the McKinley Mall.

Likely the place for the next 4 story hotel. Something like a Hilton Garden Inn or Marriot Bonvoy. Or maybe they put that right at the 50 yard line of the Ralph after it’s demolished. Either way. Things are in place for there to be some growth. Will it amount to much? Who knows. Quote
