Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
Don't we hear this crap EVERY freaking off-season? Boy has cried wolf way too much with this stuff. They are going to have to have a shovel in the dirt before I get excited about anything dealing with a new stadium for the Bills.

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
I don't want a new stadium.
Ever hear all the complaints about the new SOTA ("state of the art") stadiums?
Sure, they have great video replays and ribbon bars and fancier food and full bars, but only yuppie bastards who don't really care about the game can afford the close seats. The hardcore fans are relegated to the cheap seats, which means it's not as loud near the field. Read this article from Bill Simmons:
Plus, while a downtown stadium would probably be good for the city itself, it would ruin the best tailgating atmosphere in the NFL. Go to a game in Baltimore, or talk to someone who went to the Toronto "home" game, if you want to see what I mean.Comment

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
I agree, OP. I like the Ralph just fine, but from a city/waterfront development standpoint, a dowtown stadium would make sense. Especially if some of the Obama stimulus money were to be made available.
But I'd just as soon they keep the Ralph, and continue to make upgrades to it.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Sure the Ralph is fine but if a new stadium ensures them staying I could care less about the tailgaiting.Originally posted by OpIv37I don't want a new stadium.

I'll agree with you on that.Originally posted by THATHURMANATOR
A good tailgating spot with no games to tailgate for is useless.Comment

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
Yep! I know it wouldn't be nearly as good tailgaiting but I have been to Sabres playoff games where tailgaiting was just as good really.Originally posted by OpIv37Comment

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
No man it's the opposite, every offseason it's talk of the team leaving, not building a new stadium.Don't we hear this crap EVERY freaking off-season? Boy has cried wolf way too much with this stuff.

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
This is Buffalo, as long as they have parking there will be tailgating. I read on WBEN that the site would be the Perry Projects, they would demolish them and put the stadium there. That would be a good spot, have a view from the field overlooking the sky and HSBC.Yep!

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
They should clear up the area just north of the wind mills for the stadium. That whole area would look alot better with a state of the art venue then what it is now.
Then put in light rail that heads north and south and encircles the city to keep auto traffic down.
It would only cost 20 billion but could anyone think of a better way to use over taxed NYS taxpayers money

Re: New Stadium Rumblings?
If you build it we will come, tailgating is football, they will not build a stadium where fans can't tailgate in Buffalo. This is not Canadia.Comment
