Draught... Drought...

Back in the late 70s I was a volunteer board operator at WBFO. I happened to engineer Tom Constanten's show "Ad Astra Per Asparagus." He was a fellow at UB's music department for a short time. So of course I asked him why the lyric "Truckin' up to Buffalo?" He said because it rhymed with "you got to mellow slow." 😂

The NFL is not WWE. But I wouldn't be surprised if the league "nudges" preferred outcomes.

Especially since teams get a cut of ticket resale revenues.

Tell us how you REALLY feel, Asante. Don't beat around the bush.

I care plenty about our preseason games. How else do we find out about the next training camp breakout stud we all get upset over when he's cut?

I thought I read the field is sunk low enough that you can see over players easily. Will the sideline camera get in your way? The field club is just what it says. Seats with club amenities at field level.

I'm hoping they learn to not only close out games but not let games get out of hand in the first place.

I want to trade what we have for magic beans. They're magic!

There is only a slim chance anyone will profit from their PSLs. In fact you'd be fortunate to only take a small loss. These PSLs are the fan's stake in building the stadium. If you think about it, it's more fair than sticking taxpayers with the whole nut. At the time $850MM was considered an obscene amount from taxpayers. Now it's only 38.6% of the cost. PSLs are around 10%. Pegula and the NFL cover just over 50%.

Those owners can just go eat their tickets when demand falls.

The $1,000 PSL has been released. They are in the upper deck corners. There are still many sections left and I wonder if we'll see PSLs fall to $750 or $500?

The new stadium is somewhat perpendicular to the old stadium. Not quite 90 degrees. So now the wind hits more of the visitor sideline than the end zone. But with the canopy and so-called wind confusion panels on the outside, it should not be windy inside the bowl. As for the sun, it will travel from home sideline to visitors.

UPL did start to play better but the defensive lapses caused him to revert to bad habits. Meanwhile Levi is doing great in the AHL. He might be ready to come up mid season. And Alex Lyon has a good resume.
