Could Buffalo be looking at a similar PSL structure for a new stadium?

Some insight into the new Georgia Dome PSL pricing for premium seats. $45,000 for the right to purchase those seats isn't as bad as it is for the Giants or Cowboys but its still insane.

They won't get it.

Minnesota has a PSL without any licenses over nine grand or so I believe.

That may be doable, but it's a stretch. I know quite a few die-hard, long time season ticket holders that could swing it if they wanted to, but probably wouldn't.

There is no doubt (at least imo) that any new stadium is going to include PSL.

$45K for the right to buy tickets. What a joke.

I would think so also, but it's going to be a hard sell to what is a typical Bills fan today. If Brandon sticks around that long, he's going to have to really be able to mine any corporate presence in his regionalization efforts. Going to be a different type of crowd.

If it cuts down on the DUI's and other alcohol related incidents I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

The price of those tickets are at least 4 times the cost of current Bills tickets.

Thank GOD for the Buffalo Economic Renaissance Miracle otherwise it would never work in Buffalo.

Can Celino & Barnes buy 10,000 seats per game?

Agreed. However, I could see us setting the bar to a new low for the max that was being asked. I wouldn't be surprised if it came in at under $5k per seat. Does every seat get PSL'd or only the premium ones?

No way psl's would be more than a 1000 or so. No one would pay Yay. Stop dreaming

Maybe so but then add a pretty large increase to the ticket prices as well. One way or another the season ticket holders are going to pay for a new stadium.

PSLs are used to help the team owner raise a portion of the cost of building a stadium not covered by government funds or the NFL.

Couldn't Bills fans just expect Pegula to continue his generosity by not asking for PSLs?

Re: Could Buffalo be looking at a similar PSL structure for a new stadium?

I can't imagine wanting to raise all the funds for the stadium from PSLs. I'm sure there would be public and private money... bonds, equity, govt $$$ to pay for it too. 30,000 PSLs at $2k a piece is $60,000,000... so is 15,000 at $4k a piece or 60,000 at $1k a piece. That's a lot of stadium funding right there.

Keep the Ralph. The Bills don't need a new stadium right now.

If Kansas City can keep Arrowhead, Chicago can keep Soldier Field, Green Bay can keep Lambeau Field, and Miami can keep what was once known as Joe Robbie Stadium, why can't the Bills keep Ralph Wilson Stadium?

No matter what Roger Goodell says about building a new stadium no longer applies now that the Pegula's own the team.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a $400 million upgrade to RWS in about 5 years after every, "study," says a new stadium downtown is possible, but not user friendly enough without hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on new roads and bridges.

There's no place like Orchard Park for football in WNY.

Remember when the November Storm hit and the Sabres still played?

First Niagara Center was over half empty. If most of the fans came from Southern Ontario and the Buffalo Northtowns, the arena would have been packed.

Goes to show how many people that support the Sabres and Bills reside south of the city.
