This is a message board devoted to chatting about a football team. You don’t actually think that anything posted on here is intended to change anything, do you? Just keep smiling. It’ll all be okay. 😉

What are the odds that nieve is incorrectly spelled?

That original scoreboard was cutting edge at the time. Looking back it was really just a bunch of light bulbs, but nobody had ever thought you could watch replays while sitting in the stadium. The picture quality was horrible but if you squinted you could almost tell what was on the ‘screen’. 😂

I’ve mentioned this quite a few times. Seat width and row spacing are probably the two biggest impacts on game day comfort but are often overlooked in the design process. Row spacing is determined very early on and is extremely hard to change later on. Seat width comes from the seating manufacturer and can change up until the last minute …but it has huge impact on seating capacity.

It may be different in different States because it is the case in California, where I served as the President of a large corporation for years. We were required to designate Officers of the Corporation every year. It was a standing action item on our Board Agenda. Regardless, even if it isn't the case in every State, then the term President has even less standing or authority. It is essentially just something somebody puts on their business card. And as I've said, I have absolutely no opinion on the Pegula's one way or the other. You clearly do.

I’ve often wondered about that. I’ve never played a professional sport and certainly not at the NFL level. What’s it feel like for the 3rd string QB to sit right next to Josh in the locker room knowing that he makes more for throwing a single pass than you’ll make all season?

Lots of companies pride themselves in having a flat management style. There’s probably way less that don’t. My point was that President is a legal/business/corporate term. Corporations are required to designate someone as the President. If memory serves, they’re also required to designate somebody as the Secretary. But the latter term doesn’t mean they’re supposed to bring the President coffee. 😉

Let me jump in and settle it….The Sabres suck and have for way too long. 😉

I assume your problem is with the word ‘relegated’? It’s not at all uncommon for a high level corporate officer to have come from a specific specialty (ie marketing) within the company. BTW: “President” is a corporate title required by law to be named once you declare yourself to be a corporation for tax purposes. It does NOT mean that you’re everyone’s boss.

Gregg, are there any buildings you visit (movie theater, restaurant, department store, fitness center) where the customers don’t pay for the building while they’re inside consuming the product that they’re there to purchase? There’s a valid argument here to be made that the government shouldn’t have chipped in to subsidize it. But that’s another discussion.

Barely audible in the video but someone mentions that the new stadium has a small indoor practice field on the lower level under the stands. I recall seeing it when someone posted the floor plans early on. I’m not sure if other new stadiums have a similar feature. I’ve toured a few but have never seen one. Pretty cool! 👍

Geez….spend much time practicing all that stereotyping or does it come naturally? And no, I have no idea what kind of a guy Terry is, and I’d bet you don’t either.

To quote George Costanza: “Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? Because I’ve gotta be honest here, had anyone said that sort of thing was frowned upon…”

Here’s a hint: If you tell them you’re with the architectural team, you can get in just about anywhere. (Just saying)

Figures.

Here's my research: Are you a different person because of the amount of money that you either have or don't have? I'm guessing not.

It’s amazing to me how many people seem to loathe other people just because they’re successful. People are people no matter of their portfolio status.

Sure! The Owners had a big meeting and put a PowerPoint presentation together that told their employees ‘you need to work harder so I can vacation in Aspen’……sure, that sounds right!

As has often been said….its not how much you make; it’s how much you spend. Remember that, kids! 😉

Geeez….lots of Ralph hate on here. I think people need to remember that there wouldn’t be a Buffalo Bills (at least not in Buffalo) if it wasn’t for that man. And as I’ve said so many time, without the Bills, Buffalo would be Cedar Rapids.

I don’t think things would be all that different if Ralph was still with us. I’m guessing he’d approve of the stadium deal with the County/State chipping in a good deal. And with the design itself not being over the top. He’d love having a quarterback locked in as the primary rainmaker. He’d also like the utility knife player extensions, investing in modest contracts as opposed to big splashes. But…I’m guessing he’d not have approved of the Von Miller deal whatsoever.

And you believe that story? Honestly?

I’ve looked at it pretty closely. What exactly do you think this slide is supposed to show? It’s not unusual for companies to have different business goals for different offices, or market sectors, or services.

See my comment above.

I had a long time partner who regularly brought in a ton a revenue….and just as regularly never made any money. We’d get to the end of the fiscal year and he was totally befuddled. He never did figure it out.
