But I think the same size for attendance could be said for the draft as Buffalo had for the IIHF world juniors. I believe the attendance was around 330k. Granted, that was over a 2 week period, not 3 days but I would imagine most of the players, family, fans, etc. would have all been on hand for the start of the tournament.

WNY doesnt come close to qualifying. We MAY have had more of a shot if it could be ready for 2026, the year of the world Cup in the US, many cities dont want/cant do both a Super Bowl and the WC in the same season. The Draft is a definite possibility. Edited June 5, 2023 by RoyBatty is alive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I could only listen to the point where Terry made a cringe worthy comment/joke about being late because McD had to comb his hair. I am sure the parts I missed were nothing but a bunch of politicians and Bills staff patting each other on the back. Now that the pomp and circumstance is over…LETS GO!!!! Bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks…giddy up!!! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks…giddy up!!! I’m not sure how many groundbreaking ceremonies you’ve been too. I’ve been to over a hundred in my career. I watched this one live, and I have to say it wasn’t too bad actually. (But… I think the Governor’s speech writers needed to brush up on their Bills history a bit. 😉) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 All in all a very well done “show.” Some definitely heartfelt words from Terry and I’m so glad to be a fan of this organization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the 20th anniversary of the first one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which on its own is not that big a deal, except right before she said it she just finished talking about what a die hard Bills fan she is.

If Green Bay can accommodate it then there's no reason Buffalo couldn't. It doesn't need to be at the stadium. Kansas City hosted this year, and it was in midtown which is 10 miles from the stadium. The draft is a perfect event for smaller market teams like Kansas City and Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
