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!
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

This lady I was entirely crazy about back in his prime, was crazy about he and his band. I liked Motorhead, had long hair but no use for perms. She told me flat out it was between me and another guy, she chose him, married him, and he had that permed Bon Jovi vibe going.
He was a great guy, I liked and respected him a lot, couldn't find any reason not to, he really was a great person. Wasn't his fault Bon Jovi infected him and caused him to gain what I lost. Had to be the perm. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Oh she was awesome. I have never forgiven Bon Jovi. It's been 30 years, I've loved even more, but it was a bitter pill losing out to a hair guy in the Metal Wars Years and scarred me into fundamentally mistrusting Bon Jovi, because he's wily and up to something, and it will cost me.

The person says the study identified at least three potential stadium sites, two in Toronto, including one on the waterfront, and another in the suburb of Mississauga.
Why would any owner want to put money in a stadium on the waterfront of Toronto compared to the waterfront of Buffalo?
John Vrooman, a Vanderbilt professor who specializes in sports economics, said feasibility studies are standard practice among prospective ownership groups and there should be no immediate cause for alarm. He said such studies evaluate expected cash flows and best- and worst-case risk factors based on location.
Vrooman projected the Bills to be valued at between $950 million and $1 billion in western New York, and about $1.5 billion if they moved to Toronto and even more in Los Angeles.
A Buffalo Bills prospective ownership group that includes rocker Jon Bon Jovi has conducted a feasibility study into buying the NFL franchise and building a stadium in Toronto, said a person close to the situation says.
These are the kind of comments that are common to Canadian stories about building a stadium..

If true, not a dollar of public money, nothing.
It simply will not happen in Toronto because there will never be public money for it.
Mr. Ford stresses that the Portlands stadium complex is still only an idea. "This is just Doug Ford's opinion," he said, and "this is not in concrete." If Toronto were to get a National Football League franchise, something he admits might be a "pipedream" in the end, a stadium could go to Woodbine, Downsview or Exhibition Place instead.
But he said that, despite his Etobicoke roots, he prefers a downtown stadium site, and the Portlands district on the eastern side of Toronto harbour has many advantages. He says the area of 400 acres has huge tracts for development and big patches of parkland, too.
"Make that a green area - bicycling, beaches - and then make massive retail outlets, but not just the regular retail. I'm talking the Nordstrom, the Macy's, the Guccis. Something different." Building on the site of the massive Hearn plant on Unwin Avenue would save $120-million because the stadium could reuse its foundation, he says. "It goes right down to bedrock."
A local developer came up with the idea of building a monorail "that would go along the lakefront and also scoop down to the Portlands and circle around." Both the monorail and the stadium would pay for themselves "through the private sector," he says.

Your turmoil explains much. I am now haunted by your pain.
Sorry If Im an NFL owner I want Toronto over Blo. If i'm a perspective buyer i would want Toronto. Blo's money making ability is pretty much tapped out. Where as in Toronto the sky's the limit

Is this based on the incredible fan support for the Bills or the Toronto fan's inability to even cheer when something positive happens ? Maybe in 20 years they will understand anything past a puck & net, I'd still question whether even then they might have the same passion as an average Bills fan.

We will see over the next 6 years with double digit ticket price increases.
If Buffalo based fans are willing to dig deeper in their pockets, perhaps the new owner will spend some of his own money on a new stadium.

Nope, based solely on that fact that with a team in Buffalo a Toronto team will be infringing on their market. So given the choice of what city i want my team in. Toronto is a no brainer
