General ticket revenue is split with the visiting team. Suite revenue stays with the home club. The other owners do have an interest.
So you make my point then, as the Bills (as long as they're good/JA is around) would have been selling out ALL seats in the current stadium. With as much as PSLs AND higher new tickets cost, they may not be selling out all the non-suite seats in the new place. We shall see.
If I'm reading the signs correctly, and from perusing social media over the past week, I think I am, the Bills have overestimated their ability to get fans to buy in at these high costs.

Different time and era. The league would probably pressure the Bills to move if they stayed in the current stadium. Many of the owners commented on the Bills in recent years that it is a great football market, but they need a new stadium to maximize revenues in the WNY. New stadiums, PSL fees, increased tickets prices is the way of life now in the NFL. The league has been marketing themselves in other countries to build their wealth. Sucks for the average fan who will be priced out but that is the reality now.
Why would other owners care how much $$$ the owner(s) of the Bills rakes in? Shouldn't they mind their own effing business?

My seat is free and it comes with great food, endless beer, and a private restroom. Oh, and it has a roof!
The only problem here is that you often have to listen to Tony Romo say over and over again, "I want you to watch....." 😂

Pretty bad when the NFL is stealing ideas from the XFL...

Something is only worth what people will pay for it. If people will pay 20-50k, good on them. If not, those prices will drop really quick. Pegula just better hope this team is still good come 2026/27. People arnt gonna pay these prices with a crap product. This isn't 2007. We long held super low ticket prices, and that definitely helped the fan base keep coming to games.
That's why they're making people pay up front, even telling people to get a bank loan and pay it off in 10 years! They are hoping enough people will be OK with the initial PSLs, and they'll have all their PSL money by opening day in 2026. After that, they don’t care.

Hockey is nothing close to the game I fell in love with as a kid anyway. Much more boring product IMO.
Same here....the French Connection, Don Luce and his backhands & shorthanded goals, Gerry Meehan knocking the Flyers out of the playoffs in 1972 with a weak shot from basically the blue line, Workman Jim Lorentz, Danny Gare the Sniper, the Fog game with the Flyers in 1975, Korab & Schoenfeld on the back line..."Have another donut, you fat pig" (said to referee Don Koharski), and real fights.
Sadly, just like most everything else in today's world, the NHL was way better 40-50 years ago.

Point of the psls was for owners to recoup money at the end of the day... I don't think they care if the fan gets more chances or not to another event
Every new stadium will have psls because the owner wants to get some of his money back
This part is sort of mind boggling, and also maddening. So the owners want to make tens of millions in profit every year, and have their team increase by many millions in value every year, and not have to pay one dime for capital costs, such as a new stadium every 30-40 years!? They want to “get their money back”, and never have to have any cost for their business, like 99% of all other businesses?!
I guess if there’s enough suckers to keep feeding them money, and paying ALL the costs for their businesses…..even though they’re billionaires who can afford it way more than everybody else…..they will happily take it, and will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Honestly, it makes me sick, and makes me come very close to just say I’m done with it, and never watch the NFL again. As it is, I’ve cut way back on how many games I watch every week, when I used to watch about 3x as many per week.

Doubt there’s a correlation between his offseason and WR drops and route running and speed and contested catches.
You seem to be implying that JA never makes a bad throw, or never makes a bad decision on where to go with his throws, which is nonsense. He certainly has *some room* for improvements.

And some people cried over $7 to stream a game from the comfort of their own home last year.
The notion of paying $400-$1000 a month to attend Bills games is just mind boggling. I guess if you got money to burn, have at it, but for most people I would think this would never be given more than 3 seconds of thought before they say (to the Bills organization) “Ha ha, Are you Nuts!?”

Unless this question is put to JA17 in say, July, AND he answers it honestly, there’s no possible way anybody knows the answer to this question.
OK, maaaayyyyyybeee his Mom or Dad would know, or some other close family member, but even that’s not a sure thing.
I definitely think he has some room for improvement, but I’m not sure that doing anything in the offseason will help him make better decisions as to where/who to throw the ball to in the season.

Not using the Oil Derrick on the side of the helmet was the biggest slap in the face to Joe Blue Collar Oiler, EVER!

The only ones on your list that I have watched, I have bolded, so we have very similar watching habits. A couple others I have never seen: 24 and Greys Anatomy.
But I can't believe that you never saw any episodes of Taxi; that was a great show! And of course The Honeymooners was an iconic classic. Hogan's Heroes and Barney Miller were OK, but nothing to write home about.

That is....SO MUCH F'N money for a 30 year-old-receiver.
My goodness.
Ridley is a good player, and he was a few freaky TD drops away from having had very good statistical season last year in a middling Jaguars offense.
But...yikes. In a year this loaded with WR talent in the draft? To pay THAT kind of money for a WR?!
Yowwwwza.As I have noted before in here, owners may be billionaires, and on the surface they may appear to be "smart", but a lot of them really are not too smart. Being rich does not equal being intelligent, shrewd, and/or smart.

I'm dumbfounded that as of today, 43% of poll respondents think that the Bills are going to win the SB next year. Optimism is a good trait to have, but C'mon Man, that's just a wild dream. LOL

As long as we're talking about timeshares, I'll give a typical, lovely, first hand experience with timeshare shenanigans. LOL
We were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, walking on the Parkway, when we saw a "free tickets" booth (for local shows/you pick one show). Only catch was you had to give them $20 cash (refundable if you show up to their spiel), and attend a 60 minute presentation....it was billed as including breakfast. Get there the next morning and the breakfast was crappy, small donuts and coffee. Temperature in the conference room was about 65°. After an hour we wanted to get out of there, but they were still going strong, and made it nearly impossible to leave, but at 80 minutes we were finally able to leave and go to a counter to get our show tickets and our $20 cash...that took about 20 more minutes in line at the counter, and then they didn’t give us cash though, it was a check which we could only cash at a certain bank in town. We did go to that bank and get our $20, just out of spite.
The really crazy thing is that we actually were interested in buying in to the program, but after the way we were treated, no way in h*ll was that going to happen. And it took the briefer FOREVER to get to the actual cost of the program.

Gotta restructure his pants first
LOL. You'd think that at $40 million+ per year he'd be able to afford some high quality pants that don't come apart at the seams!

I'm glad that you're OK, and hope that going forward, you make it through without any big complications.
As someone who is now 60+, my biggest fear/concern about life is my health, and how basically at any moment my life can be drastically changed in an instant.

I'm sorry to be a broken record. We have a top 3 QB. If you expect anything less than the SuperBowl I really don't understand you.
Please anyone that votes anything but SuperBowl win explain?
It's a team game, and we are thinking rationally. 😉 I will be very surprised if they get past the divisional round.

"Contract expired"
So you’re the second person who seems to think there’s a difference between “contract expired” and “you’re fired”…..there isn’t. For all intents and purposes, it’s the same exact thing.
If they thought he was valuable to the organization, he would have been given a new contract. Instead, they told him to clean out his office, get out, and don’t come back. But he wasn’t fired. OK. LOL

Agreed. It’s really just crazy how some of these NFL owners throw money around.
