New Bills stadium deal is bad for taxpayers, according to Yahoo!
Mr. WEO replied to JPL7's topic in The Stadium Wall
Outside of....Buffalo? The information regarding the impact of new stadiums on their surroundings isn't going to be suddenly different for Buffalo as it has been everywhere else. This makes no sense. The article you cited discusses only the County's obligations under the new contract, not the states. All told, including the 600 milliom state, 250 million county, 6 million capital improvement fund per year for 30 years, 6.7 million per year times 15 for maintenance, 4 million a year for capital improvement (from Erie) and 900k a year to capital improvements from Bills lease payments. Total public costs 1.13 billion upfront +ongoing. -

It's 383 million. It's income EBITDA. -

Hmmm....where have I read this before? "The Bills and their owners, Terry and Kim Pegula, don’t need a handout. With a net worth of $5.8 billion, Terry Pegula ranks as the ninth-richest owner in the NFL. The generous revenue-sharing structure of the NFL means that even playing in one of the league’s smallest markets, the Bills have earned over $300 million in operating income since the Pegulas purchased the team for $1.4 billion just seven years ago. And since then, the value of the Bills has risen by another $900 million. The Pegulas have earned enough on their investment in just seven years to pay for the entirety of a new stadium on their own." Dude should cite his TSW sources... -
Why would a business owner want to build (or at least significantly contribute the building of) the facility that will house his business? You're right--that would just be silly. Business owner just do not build buildings. Anyway, that silly question aside....the Pegula's aren't treating me or anyone else to a stadium (hence, this thread). The topic of this discussion is should they not soak the season ticket holders for the balance of their portion of the "privately funded" construction costs. They certainly don't need to. After the state, county and NFL/G4 contributions, they are on the hook for about $350 million. They can swing that easily and it is a small amount to pay for the financial benefits they (alone) will reap from the new stadium. It would be a hardship for many season ticket holders

Absolutely untrue. They could simply choose not to charge PSLs and cough up that small % of the cost of the stadium from their vast personal wealth.

Why would he care? These decisions are run by him. He got paid. All that other stuff was nonsense.

The Lord: "you're a liability out there. I'm sending you to Pittsburgh. Go Bills" -
If Hochul was a reporter and posted this on twitter, she would get roasted here. She "indicates" "larger cities, like San Diego that would love to have a team" and this becomes " San Diego was interested in taking the Bills away from Buffalo". She only throws this whopper out there as here ship suddenly is taking on water and sinking and the sharks are circling downstate.

Mel Kiper mock- Michigan DB Daxton Hill
Mr. WEO replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
he's not going to line up everywhere on this team. For the value and impact he will have, a similar guy can be had in a later round. -
remember that 9 OT Penn State game? It wasn't even football. As for the chip. be prepared for the replay to show the tip of the ball cross the plane and no TD indicated by the chip. Gambling addicts will rend their clothing....

One doesn't draft a slot corner in the 1st....or does one? -
Is the chip in the middle of the ball? is there a chip on either point of the ball? Also, the OT "shootout" is a joke.

The Generals struggling to decide which "Lone Star Conference" QB they want to lead them to glory....

Josh is better than Rodgers right now.

Keyshawn was banging the table HARD for Cam Newton last off season for obvious reasons. Same for Watson, who's had one very good season.

He will be taking the job offer at the airport in September. Why would he let his real talent not be compensated?

Gaze upon...... New Jersey Generals Head coach: Mike Riley went 14-34 over three seasons as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 1999-2001. He had two separate stints as head coach of Oregon State, going 93-80. He was also the head coach at Nebraska from 2015-17. He was a head coach in the AAF and offensive coordinator in the XFL. Quarterback: Ben Holmes' college career included stops at Nassau Community College and Tarleton State. He led Tartleton State to the Lone Star Conference Championship and finished with a 23-2 record as a starter. This will be funny to watch for a while...then it will join the other "spring football leagues" in the hopper

What deception would they sue over?

Am I the only one who hasn't completely given up on Zack Moss?
Mr. WEO replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’ll feel a lot more comfortable when the Bills release him and bring him back on a 1 year contract. That means player is solid! -

A nice prospect to groom if Feliciano gets the boot.
Mr. WEO replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
do they put "UNI" on the jerseys to help these Northern Iowa guys get dressed on game day?
