Key Bank Center hot potato

This has the potential of being very very bad for Sabres and Bandits fans.

Kathy Hochul will find a way to come up with the money just like she did for the Bills. It will suck that it will be at taxpayer expense but that it is my prediction.

Buffalo taxpayers are not going to pay for it lol

 

It's going from Erie county which has a massive budget to the city which does not.. 

 

Hochul was a part of the bills project because the state money ... Unless New York state is giving money for the sabres arena she's going to have no part of the project

Leafs play the Sabres tonight. Normally that means 10-12K Toronto fans at Key Bank Center. But right now they're are thousands of unsold seats. Canadians aren't crossing the border now. That represents about 500,000 drop in market size for the Bandits and Sabres. It really raises the question if these franchises can survive with a big reduction in market. (The Bills will be hurt somewhat but they only play once a week. Sabres okay 2-4x a week.)
