All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Doesn't really help the Bills' chances for those who think we're getting a new home... at least if NY is as broke as it says it is.
The Mets are paying $550 million for the stadium and the city is expected to kick in $90 million in capital funds, officials said. The state will provide $75 million for infrastructure improvements around the stadium.
New York Mets officials stirred up the past on Thursday when they unveiled a stadium design reminiscent of Ebbets
Field, the storied home of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
I watched the press conference today on SNY.....Very excited about that stadium opening. I was suprised to find out that the Mets will cover ALL of the construction fees.
I'll definiatly be there opening day 2009!!! Lets go Metties
I just moved here at the end of 04... got to 3 or 4 games last year. It was pretty full everytime I went, but watching on TV it sometimes looks a little empty. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the place is a complete ****hole. I've been to countless stadiums/arenas in my life and Shea is hands down the worst. I can understand why they want a new park.

Yeah, I've been to a few games as well and I can honestly say that Frontier Field here in Rochester is better than Shea in terms of up-to-date ammenities.
They don't have to pay the luxury tax if they are putting money into new stadiums.
It's a big loophole.
That's one that George is going to step into next season. On ereport said the Yanks may actually qualify for revenue sharing money from other teams.
I don't know the Mets funding but the Yanks are putting up the entire 800+ million. The city will pay for road, train stuff but the Yanks will also pay to create and renovate some parks in the area.
I don't think this would affect any stadium issues the Bills may have.

If that is the case then I guess I was misguided. I am actually surprised the Yankees are doing that. I actually have a little bit of respect for them by doing that. At least they didn't try to rape the upstate tax base like the Giants/Jets tried.
From what I remember George pays about 80-100 million a year in revenue sharing/luxury tax money so by funding his own stadium he will make back the 800 million cost in 8-10 years anyway.
I’m sure he’s getting tax breaks (he pays no property tax right now, that will probably continue) so the team will make the cost back pretty fast.
not to mention that with George owning the stadium and the team he gets to keep more revenue... and more then quadruples the resale value of the team
george is getting fairly old
