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!
As for the hotel rooms as I have said before, there are more than enough rooms within an hour of Buffalo which is the norm distance for Super Bowls.
Yes but the NFL is not going to make league officials, press, and teams stay an hour away. For fans that's ok to some degree, but when you start forcing official personnell that far out the league isn't going to go for it.
COMING SOON...

I'm against building a new stadium at all, just renovate the Ralph, which has easy accessibility, plenty of Parking, great sightlines and has one of the lowest average ticket price in the NFL. A new stadium would instantly raise ticket prices, plus there would be many more luxury boxes which would hike up all prices, also it would probably not have near the same amount of Parking (depending on location) and might not be as easy to get to.

Renovations would raise the ticket prices too.

Agreed, but there are enough rooms nearby for the high & mighty. I doubt Buffalo would ever see a Super Bowl, but lack of Hotel rooms is not the reason.
Down here in Cincy, Mike Brown published a phony seating chart for his gift stadium and kited the money for the better seats until he was hauled into court. Then he sent out letters telling season ticket holders that if they cancelled their tickets he would sue them claiming that the season ticket holders agreed to a 10 year contract. A lie. Sued again, and lost.
Pro football - one of the few businesses out there that can routinely wipes its' shoes off on the face of the paying customer and chuckles when they come back for more...

Former NF Mayor Vince Anello got sprung from prison recently. E. Dent Lackey - mayor from 1963 to 1975 - let the town go to seed. Building a stadium within the city limits of a one-party town like NF seems risky. Same for building one within the Buffalo city limits.
That's why I hope it would make NF clean up. So much potential in NF is wasted.

Yep. That it's in that state it is is a tragedy. But that's the story of the NY Dem pols forking over most of the tax money from the paying citizens over to the dregs for their votes to keep themselves in power, a tale repeated across our nation's cities. Sad. I'm old enough to remember when it was different.
