That's No Moon

If you want evidence that stadiums don't create offshoot business by themselves look at Philadelphia. Philadelphia has had some degree of sports complex in the same spot since the 1970's. First it was the Vet and the Spectrum across the street from each other, no it Lincoln Financial, Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center all together in the same place. There is something going on at that complex almost every night of the year between the Phillies 82 home dates, the Eagles 11ish home games, the Flyers 41 home dates, the Sixers 40 something home dates, lacrosse games, concerts, etc. There is absolutely nothing there that isn't either in the stadium itself or directly owned by Comcast. Very recently, Comcast built the Xfinity Live building with some bars and restaurants inside it to serve the pre-game and post-game crowd but that is all. That isn't an example or organic development. Everything else is a sea of parking lots and industrial buildings. The one hotel that was built to serve that site was a dump and has since been remodeled.

I've heard that at least 4 times during this ongoing rebuild. I don't believe that KA is competent. I don't believe that Lord Terrence has the slightest clue how to run a hockey team. Reaching back for Lindy Ruff is the totally predictable "sell some tickets" move that the drought Bills would have done.

Ok, settle down. There wasn't a WS, Super Bowl or Olympics until the 1990's. If you ever went to Fulton County Stadium there wasn't development around it in the way you are talking about. And neither Fulton County or the Olympic Stadium were "downtown" in the way people are talking about. They were inside the beltway, in the city but not "downtown". The Georgia Dome moved the stadium DIRECTLY downtown and adjacent to their convention center. That timing also coincided with Olympics development and the Super Bowl. The new football stadium is next door to the previous one so it's capitalizing on being downtown also. The new baseball stadium is nowhere near that and was intentionally moved to where it is because getting downtown in Atlanta sucks and the Braves were able to control the land around the stadium and do all of the development we are discussing themselves. It's not like it was organic growth. The area around their stadium is the equivalent of Disneyland. The Braves own all of it and control all of it. Nobody makes money from it except them.

Football started in Fulton County Stadium, then Georgia Dome, then Megatron's Butthole. Baseball was Fulton County, Olympic Stadium (I forget the corporate name), now Truist Park out in Cobb County.

I'm pretty close to being done with the Sabres.

This is also their 3rd baseball stadium and 3rd football stadium since 1990. The footprints have moved. Football #3 is close to where football #2 was, Baseball #2 was close to baseball #1 but baseball #3 is nowhere close and that's the one that was the most successful.

To be fair, she was frisking everyone who went into that men's room that day.

I loved the Mets when I was a kid. It's hard to learn that all your heroes are drug addicts and wife beaters.

Miami, New England, Dallas, Jacksonville, Jets, Kansas City Yankees, Mets, Braves Flyers, Bruins, Canadiens, Maple Loaves Tonight is a Giant Meteor game. Can't root for either team so I root for a giant meteor.

Depends on what he's getting from Bona. Probably not 21M, but if handling NILs and fundraising is part of his gig a percentage of fund raising could be part of the deal.

It builds character. I used to ride my 10 speed over the North Bridge fairly regularly. On the sidewalk of course. Just don't fall left...or right...

Grand Island is basically the same every time I go back.

Did you see the one handed diving TD catch he had earlier?

It has its own gravitational field.

I'm out on Broadway tonight in Nashville. J-E-T-S suck suck suck! 😂

I agree totally. Disjointed is the perfect word for what they were. I just want to see how they do once people start to hone in on the plan and scheme to disrupt it better.

If they keep moving the ball around like they have it will work out. That seems to be the plan and it works for me.

It's week 2. Let's see what happens with the league getting more and more film of the offensive changes and new defensive personnel and plan before we make definitive statements. Early last season Ken Dorsey was the OC and they put up 145 points through the first 4 games.

I hate looking for easy parts of the schedule. Last year the Bills biggest enemy was the Bills. Anyone can beat anyone in this league.

To be fair, he's only 14 years old.

#1, it didn't say it needed to be me so I made a Seinfeld reference. #2, I benched James Cook in fantasy football. You're all welcome.

Josh only plays Titleists.

It depends on where your head is I guess.

They weren't afraid of Tua running so the DL had more freedom. Miller was impressive tonight and showed the quickness I didn't see last week. Let's hope it continues.
