I'm guessing he probably doesn't like chicken wings or food festivals.

I was listening to WGR yesterday morning and they were talking about the chicken wing festival. Howard Simon came on and said how he only eats chicken wings in Buffalo. Are a lot of people from Buffalo like that? I have wings from many different cities and a lot are just as good if not better.

I am a huge fan of the Sabres and I am really looking forward to this season. I can't wait to see Dahlin play. I think they will a lot better then last season and will surprise some people. One thing that does bother me is how little the media and people in Buffalo talk about the Sabres. They have a great rookie to look forward to and there is not much hype in Buffalo. Its BILLS BILLS BILLS all the time. Its a shame cause hockey is one of the best sports in the world and all anyone talks about is the BILLS. The Sabres represent Buffalo too.

Thats not true at all. Progressive field has a bar that you can overlook the field while sitting at a table eating and drinking. That as well as having craft brews and better food makes for a better game experience. Sorry I want more then Genny Cream ale or Labatt blue. Yuck.

That's what the people want now. Bigger and more thrilling rides.

Who was Steve? Obviously its some inside joke within you guys.

What do you mean more "pushy"?

Why would you say that? That coaster looks amazing and its the tallest and fastest of its kind.

Link is fixed.

I got tickets a couple of weeks ago. 27 bucks for outfield seats. A great place to see a baseball game. Once you see the amenities that park has you will wish New Era Field had them.

The PSL would probably more inline with what the Browns charge. That is $16,000 per seat for the best seats. They start at $500. Yeah tickets are going to go up and they will be close to that price for the best seats.

I would love a bar area similar to the one at Progressive field in Cleveland. It has a bunch of tables along a railing that faces the field so you can sit and eat while watching a game. Its open to all fans at the stadium.

Sorry but the NFL is no longer your grandfathers NFL. At some point ticket prices will rise to be more in line with the league average. When it does happen the stadium has to offer more amenities then the bare bones it has now. A lot of people are willing to pay higher prices if the experience is worth it. That means better food and beer as well as nice lounge to see the game from.

A know a lot of the older fans are happy with a place to see the game, their labatt blue and a hot dog. To grow their fan base they need more bells and whistles. For me personally being able to have some good craft brews and better food options like pulled pork on a bun, tacos, cheese steak sandwiches. Why not offer some of the food like Key Bank centre has? I am finding it hard to understand why so many of you wouldn't want a stadium that offers those things.

Whats wrong with craft brews and wanting to eat something better then sauages or hotdogs. Oh I know its too sophisticated for you. You just want your Genny light and a bench to watch the game.

It seems like a lot of the people on this board are older fans that are not into the way the new football and baseball stadiums are built aside from the PSL's.

What is so bad about wanting better beer than GENNY LIGHT or your typical sausage or hot dog. What is so bad about wanting a bar area where you can see the game inside the stadium? For me its all about the experience and amenities at the stadium. If I am going to a bare bones stadium like New Era Field I might as well stay and get a better view from my tv.

I disagree. If you like bare bones then its a fine stadium. I was just at Progressive field in Cleveland and the amenities there were some of the best. Between the amazing food offerings and the craft brews makes it a great place to see a game. There is even a nice bar area that you can sit at and watch the game from. That is the kind of things that is missing at New Era Field. I guess people in Buffalo don't like change or state of the art amenities.

Driving through Cleveland on my way home from Cedar Point I passed the Browns stadium. From what I could see it looks like a really nice stadium. What about building one like that?

I go down to Florida every February to get away from the depths of ice, snow and cold.

Theme parks never get old. The rush you get riding a roller coaster is one of the best things. The only good thing good about winter and fall is hockey.

Since I live in Canada its hard for me to move to a warmer climate. Believe me if I could I would move to Florida in an instant. I hate cold and snow. I am so amazed at how many people seem to hate the heat but love the cold. Besides there is lot more things to do in the warmer weather then in the depths of winter. You can't go to parks like Cedar Point in the winter.

I wasn't questioning your fandom at all. In general I know why they are doing this. Its not cause of guys like you. I know Sabres season ticket holders that sell more then half their games to make money. You can blame it on fans like that on why they changed the way tickets are available.

I'm not a corporate shill. I just think the new way is better. Its only an issue if you want to sell your tickets. It used to be that you bought season tickets cause you are a fan of the team. Now a lot of season ticket holders seem to go maybe half the games in a season and try to make a profit off the rest of the games. This is the NFL's way of controlling that.
