I'm not sure what you mean. I don't own seasons anymore and am not interested in them. You stated that you are looking forward to hotels and restaurants and bars and I was letting you know that there is nothing that hints at this happening. No large chain will build based off 8 days of business a year. Not sure why even a local restaurant would build there for 8 days of business. It makes no fiscal sense, which probably explains why we see no permits being pulled around the stadium for any of these.
Ps, the Cleveland Browns stadium is still very blue collar and tailgates similarly to Buffalo.
My response was for @mrags saying how they are going to change the experience and eventually adding restaurants in the area.
As far as Cleveland goes, while they still tailgate, it's less a college feel to it. You don't hear of idiots like you do in Buffalo with the table slamming

Hate to break it to you, but you aren't going to get hotels, bars and restaurants. No permits pulled for any of these.
Unless you mean the nachos you'll get at the bars inside the stadium.
Unfortunately, your family past time of eating food and laying down in bed will have to take place elsewhere.Wow. I get it, you and most others hate that you're getting priced out. I'm happy cause Buffalo is finally moving out of the blue collar era. Even Cleveland has upgraded.

Thank you. Another person confirming this. I was just pointing out that he all the sudden cared about the community when it meant money in his pockets. Like I said, etch it in stone. You will see many new business pop up near/around the stadium with Pegula’s name on them. In theory, after collecting free money from tax payers to build his stadium, charging them absurd PSL fees, incredibly increased ticket prices, and then he’s going to get a 4th small fortune by overcharging hotel rooms and dining expenses from stupid bills fans that travel far and wide to overpay for his watered down Bills experience.
I like the direction the experience for the stadium is heading. I'm glad the college atmosphere is going away. I welcome the hotels, bars and restaurants. Those are things that my family likes to do before games.

Yes I’m fully aware these clubs are not meant for most fans. They are meant for businesses. I’ve been saying that for years now. It’s why u says everyone in the new stadium will be stepping down a peg or 2 as far as seating in the new stadium. Because even club seats in the current stadium are reasonable to a career individual. Of course if you’re working at McDonald’s you likely can’t afford them. But if your someone who has a career emolloyment then you likely can if you wanted to. But in the new stadium the career professional isn’t likely to be able to afford those seats. But you better believe the law firm or the dr that employs him will have those seats.
im not arguing what should be happening, in a perfect world we wouldn’t even have PSLs. I’m arguing what is. In fact. Happening.
im just saying if a 20-30 year option was there, some of those people that would have no shot at them, might actually do it. Other stadiums have 30 year options. Pretty sure Dallas and NYC. There’s really no reason why it should be possible here.
IMO the reason they are doing it this way is this their way of pricing out the riff raff that go to games. By charging what they are charging, the table slamming, condiment guys and drunks will no longer be at the games. It's there way of making Bills games more corporate and less college

I have lived in Buffalo my entire life I understand the people here... Buffalo certainly creates more of an SEC football atmosphere... We understand football we love it and we love to party
The league did change the blackout rules though.. you don't need to sell out anymore
I do remember games back in the day that were not on TV
Those days are over.

This doesn’t compute.
Building a brand new 8,000 square foot house in Buffalo, doesn’t mean that this new house has equal market value to the same large home in California. Or Chicago. Or NYC. etc.
Bringing the Bills ticket pricing up to national averages only makes sense if they’re also building the stadium in one of those larger cities that demand such exorbitant ticket prices.
But they’re not.
They’re charging big city prices, without the big city. The big city prices make sense in those cities because *everything* is more expensive there.
It would be akin to being told the apartments in Lackawanna are now $7.5k per month, because the landlord says the previous rent was undervalued compared to Manhattan and LA.
You can't compare housing prices to NFL tickets. This is the cost of having a team in the NFL. Unfortunately a lot of fans will no longer be able to afford to go to games.
The thing is majority knew this was going to happen with getting a new stadium.

I learned the draft is irrelevant and only over paying for guys in FA is the way too go.
It's not irrelevant but for the most part drafted players don't make a big impact that quickly

Reading some of these posts, I was starting to think the season started this Sunday..
Realistically how much is going to change roster wise that's going to significantly make the team better? A lot of big names in Free Agency are gone, and rookies more often than not don't make an impact in their first season.
This team will still be a playoff team as the rest of the division isn't good but they most likely are closer to a 10 win team than a 13 win team.

Why not list the guys coming back from injury, too?
Morse is a loss. Poyer & Hyde were almost holding us back, imo - both lost a step, and we lost speed in the secondary as a result. White hardly played for us, and Davis was wildly inconsistent.
I like the direction of younger & faster
The direction they are going makes sense and is a positive. There is no way they will be better than last season when they are relying on that many draft picks to fill holes.
I'm expecting a step back this season and possibly next.

My buddy back in the UK who’s been a lifelong Falcon fan says not to expect anything but a role player on ST with the off-chance of sporadic success on offense if he’s doing the things Gabe did.
Regular run of the mill depth guy.
Basically a JAG

I’m still wondering about leaving $13 million that we desperately needed this year on the table by not taking full advantage of reworking Josh’s contract to the max benefit—even those talking heads we all hate but who do know a bit more than us were also confused by that move.
That $13 million or part thereof could have landed us a one year prove it WR (aside from Ridley or “Hollywood”) Check Spotrac:
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/wide-receiver/. And, another one year prove it defensive player (in round three of FA).
From what I heard on the radio the reason they didn't want to rework Josh's contract more is the hope is go get to a point where they don't have to restructure a lot of contracts for cap reasons.

I'm sure their fans will be completely understanding, and ownership completely patient with said approach.
I'm sure Bills fans are understanding with said approach. Same same can be said of the Bills. They lost a lot of their defensive guys.

One is they did not need to reduce size of stadium to try to drive up seat costs and attempt (I do not think it will make it successful) to being all PSL. They are going to get some blowback from this.
It makes sense to reduce the size of the stadium. It's the way just every new stadium is going. Less seats create higher demand. I get the frustration as a lot people are going to be priced out from going to games. The Bills will no longer be near the bottom in average ticket prices. New stadium will put them closer to the top.

Yes but nobody is forcing the Buffalo Bills season ticket holders to buy PSL’s they have mouths they can say no. At the end of day NFL football like anything else is a business. The bottom line like others have said the Bills organization knows this is going to be a hard sell. That is why I said at a point when the Bills can’t sell a lot of the not so great seats in the end zones the Bills are going to have to make hard decisions about PSL’s. Also Bills fans should keep in mind the owner they are defending as wonderful, wonderful makes what between $20 to $30 million a year right now on the Buffalo Bills through television, merchandise and gate.
How much money and profits is enough? Think about that $20 million dollar? The average person would have trouble spending that in a life time if you live a modest lifestyle. Terry Pegula makes that for one year off of the Buffalo Bills. Also this is the same so called Buffalo fan owner is doing business with a snake in Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones. If Bills fans can’t figure that out and get taken by the Bills that is on them. Again 50 yard line tickets sure they will be hot PSL’s. But end zone Bills seating or worse standing room I wouldn’t pay a dime for PSL’s wait out Terry Pegula on Bills season tickets like that. The Bills organization will eventually panic as we get closer to the new Bills stadium opening and you hear there is no PSL’s on those not so great seats. If Bills fans run down there sign up for PSL’s sure Terry Pegula will laugh all the way to the bank. I don’t feel sorry for Bills fans because they can say no like I said. I wouldn’t even show up for the Bills experience. Yes it’s a nice new clean shiny stadium that will smell like beer and throw up in 5 years like the present Bills stadium. So no PSL’s for Buffalo Super Fan wait out the Bills organization they will give in on the PSL’s because they aren’t going to want to embarrass themselves with empty seats in rows of sections in a brand new stadium the NFL and television doesn’t like that stuff in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo
I get what you're saying. A lot of fans will be priced out. IMO it was either this or the BIlls leave town.

Bills fans and Beane are very lucky to have Pegula who has spent money
Wish he would do the same with the Sabres. Instead he cuts scouting to 1 pro scout and refuses to spend in free agency.

I'm hoping in the next CBA that contract restructuring is not allowed anymore. If you screwed up your cap, you should have to deal with consequences. If that means you have a bunch of street JAGs to fill your roster so be it.

Relative roster health between two teams is less important for a regular season game matters less bc it can even out over 18 weeks of the regular season. Some games your team is banged up, the other team is healthy and you lose. Then the situaion is reversed at another week. But in a single elimination tournament, that one game where your team has a half dozen key players out and the other team is healthy, you go home and they are called a dynasty. Its all garbage, i wish the 18 week regular season counted for a lot more as it is a better indication of who has the "dynasty". Chiefs haven't won any more games than the Bills have in the past 5 years... so which team is the "dynasty"?
The Chiefs cause they won when it mattered.

Matt Milano, Jimbo Cook....Kincaid is just a rookie, but he seems like the real deal.
Kincaid is a rookie and may come a playmaker. On defense outside of maybe Milano they have no game breakers. They have a good group of guys that work well together but they lack those elite CB like KC has. On the D line they have no one as good as Jones. Again they are a good group just not elite.

So what would your solution have been? Just keep pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the old stadium? Prices would still increase
They are in a hard spot. Either build a new stadium and price some people out or the team moves.

Statistically, Josh Allen outplayed Mahomes on that day but we still lost
Why?
Because the bills will be ready to win a Super Bowl whenever the players around Josh Allen make plays when it matters
It really is a simple as that
Til there is more playmakers on both sides of the ball, they aren't winning anything except regular season games.

I have and yes those things happen. Not as frequently as in Buffalo were table slamming and condiment guy happens weekly. IMO part of raising the price is to eliminate the college tailgating atmosphere
