May Day 10

I just don't think we would draw (most dont) for a #3 sun belt vs #4 conference usa bowl matchup. Mac championship isn't leaving detroit. Ub won't draw enough. I don't see us getting the neutral site matchups jerry gets or atlanta or even indy. Yeah we would probably get a regional ncaa basketball one year. Maybe a final four someday.

If we had the market to support ncaa neutral site games and bowl games I'd be all for it.

I would lIke to see a rebranding of the mascot.

The most fascinating to me is the eric Dickerson trade

Yeah. For me, the ticket price is laughable. Like my friends and I sit there and literally laugh at the price. Definitely can't hit anywhere near the league averages though. At least overnight. The sabres method has been great to slowly climb from the bottom to about nhl average. Need to have a few good seasons though to create the whole perpetual demand and fan resale benefits of hanging on to their "spot In line"

Very excited to see where it goes. I'm hoping for a centurylink style stadium. Outdoor, but protected from the elements a bit... a bit eastward from the arena. The county city and state will be asked to fund infrastructure and they will. Hopefully this will spawn a much needed public and privately funded convention center near the premesis. Also thinking there will be a brick and mortar amphtlitheater down there by the water within a decade. There we have the best of all worlds. Imo an indoor stadium here won't have a fraction of activity dallas, atlanta, indy, and even detroit have. What would be held there in winter months that the arena can't hold? Maybe a final 4 someday? On the flip side I would bet a new centurylink style holds multiple nhl outdoor weekends. Fan experience for the richies can and will be the same.

If they build with a roof, I can't blame them. I would prefer a centurylink. Best of all worlds. I feel an indoor stadium sucks a lot of character out of teams. Last weekends games were all outdoors and in cold weather cities. I thought and always think that is a preferable backdrop as opposed to sterile dark and miscellaneous games you see in indy, dallas, detroit, etc. In a centurylink, fan experience will certainly be increased as will pricing. People have to remember though, our market doesn't allow for the typical widespread high end pricing. There will be suites and clubs for the top class indoor or out. Comparing December games in the early 90s to today is silly. Especially taking into account a centurylink type field will be a little smaller, somewhat protected with a roof, and in a much more accessible location than orchard park. 90s the stadium was huge. No Internet resale options or purchasing... or electronic tickets. The team was coming off of seasons where 20k fans was common. Nfl overall is much more popular now... and also we now have about 25% of fans coming from ontario and rochester that didn't exist in the 90s. Also take into account that opposing fans are much better traveled today. Look at the 93 sabres. Most exciting team in their history and they couldn't sell out the aud. It doesnt translate to today. 1 season where we win a division and have a home playoff game I guarantee we will see a cap in season tickets and a waiting list. Also I'm unsure of all these events an indoor would hold that an outdoor and func can't. Maybe a hypothetical final four... but on the other hand an outdoor stadium would hold nhl games I'm sure on a few occasions

is #12 retired? I think they shoud retire #78 when they get around to it

the bald guy I mean...

isnt that Overdorf?

Toad's Place really isnt anything special, really. The 3 places I would recommend the most is Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI, Tower Theater in Upper Darby, PA (Philly), and Benaroya Hall in Seattle. Oh yeah, the Theater for the Performing Arts in Philly is an amazing place to see a show! I really want to go to the Gorge sometime

wouldnt something like this work and be awesome?

here is another shot of it. Strange the Pegulas would stamp a giant "Los Angeles" right outside the stadium. I wonder what that means

I would love, love love for Buffalo to get an MLB team. Would require a multi-purpose retractable facility IMO. Also highly doubtful as long as the MLB caters to the big markets and the MLBPA. But man, talk about getting a ton of people downtown 80+ nights a Summer? As far as the Bills stadium, I would be fine if they just took Seattle's taco/burrito design and transplanted it here. Would be comfortable enough from the elements, yet outdoors. I really do not know what events an enclosed stadium would attract that an outdoor stadium will not. Best case is Pegula and Jacobs privately fund an outdoor stadium, ask the public for infastructure downtown, and with that, the public along with maybe a private developer builds a really nice convention center.

what the heck is that. It just regurgitates the basics briefly, then throws this haymaker and thats it.

awesome story. Loved hearing about it

"premium" in Britain is synonymous with "amongst the goats"

omg, could you imagine?

oh yeah. The Punter needs to be punted

They were a strength in 2014. Easley was a monster

Happy to see I was on the side that wanted him. Reading that brought me back to the moment I was convinced we needed this guy. The look on his face walking to the middle of the field to shake Belichick's hand was something else. He looked like he would rather be dead than congratulate BB in beating him.

To me, the Roman hire puts all this over the top and makes me almost giddy. He is top shelf. He knows qbs. I would trust him to identify a qb who maybe would have been overlooked by everyone else. If we get Callahan to coach the oline... oh man

that makes sense. He wasnt the same guy in the last quarter of the season and yesterday. Like completely different

Andrew Luck, Alex Smith (who was an apparent bust before Roman) and Kaepernick. Then add in the possibility of Bill Callahan for the OL.

how about Callahan to coach the O-Line. that would be insane along with Roman/Ryan/Schwartz
