no market for "major concerts". Thats why acts do not come to WNY for a very long time. The stones, and any younger mega acts avoid Buffalo like the plague. They have to, it's a profit driven business. They go to Toronto, other big acts play toronto or other rust belt city's not named Detroit. And, For the cndert goer the experience is even nicer up there. The claim that domed stadium would bring in these events is simply not true. They won't come to the ralph now because there is no money to be had. These are multi million dollar productions, they do not discount for areas with horrid economy's. Who would drive to Batavia for a major show? In a dome seating 60K? Who would book a major show in Bativa? Why would the Bills play in Batavia? it's not like Buffalo is built out. How many hotels in Batavia? Not many.
