dwight in philly

is that george soros's group???

i agree, the league could be headed to a WWF perception.. between the latest deflategate and the blatant blown call in the dallas detroit game, people will start wondering...

no argument there.. agree 100 per-cent..

most of what you enumerated could be held at the FNC.. im not against a new stadium necessarily, but very anti dome.. anti roof, anti covered stadium..

ok.. what "revenue producers" do you have in mind? i hear that reason all the time, but have yet to be convinced of what those events would be.

i think the term "dome" is used interchangeably with "roof".. same premise.." open air" or "uncovered"

please explain , how is it throwing money away??

agree on both counts!.. and as i said in other posts regarding this, the frozen four will not be coming here every year, nor will the NCAA regionals.. WTH are you going to use a covered stadium for ?.

and a very, VERY sterile atmosphere..

never heard of him

i sure hope you were referring to the steelers! LOL.. i have had enough of "tank"..

wow! what a thought!

those events are worthy, but dont seem like permanent events.. sporadic..lots not seem worthy of a 75,000 seat stadium.. i saw a senior prom listed..if you assume there will be 10 football games and maybe a regional, a frozen four, but they happen every 5-10 yrs at best..

i am curious as to what other events a downtown domed stadium could hold. i am not trying to be a wise guy, but i hear all this talk about "year round events".. i really cant think of any "sure things" that would justify a covered stadium..

analysis? opinion? whatever you deem worthy of calling it, i happen to agree with it and am aware many disagree..

very well stated.. one of the best analysis i have seen on here regarding the stadium situation..

this topic has been discussed at length and rightfully so... as for me, hard to really offer an opinion.. i am torn.. love the tailgating obviously at the ralph, but also realize the economics of today's NFL.. like anybody else who loves the area, i want to see it prosper and a downtown stadium just adds to the mix of buffalo's re-development.. but my biggest fear is the design.. again, that has been discussed , i am firmly opposed to a dome, just my opinion, if i was king of the world i would want an open air stadium like the steelers or seahawks stadium.. with a little character.. the idea of hosting a super bowl is a pie-in- the- sky idea.. not going to happen.. all that being said.. retro fit the ralph..

AGREE!.. no red helmets..

not a helluva lot difference between that and the ralph..

i like petty, just afraid his stock will rise, but even if it does, grab him..just not sure whether to pull the trigger with our first pick .

i know! was hoping for that tampering pick.. could the jets have "opted out" on marrone for that very reason?

i remember that call, the play, like it was yesterday..witnessing what i saw yesterday really DOES have the feel of a fix.. just my opinion.. one can argue about the validity of the call,(sure seemed like pass interference to me and according to mike periara, the refs got it wrong) totally feel for the lions, their fans.. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/writer/jason-la-canfora/24652025/is-this-the-nfl-ref-czar-on-cowboys-party-bus-irate-nfl-execs-say-yes
