Maybe you can give me some insight. Some folks over at SabreSpace have decided that Pete Guelli was hired because Terry like yes-men, just like Michael Jordan did when he owned the Bobcats. And yes, they are being serious. https://www.sabrespace.com/community/topic/36719-sabres-and-bills-hire-new-coo/?do=getNewComment

How serious are they, how enforceable is it, and does he feel like taking them on?

Yes, taxes are part of it, but those actually buying tickets will pay extra.

I don't follow what you find weird. He wasn't running the team. Maybe the "turnaround" is on the business end?

Yeah, up yours, Smugtown!

SabresSpace already wants him fired. 😄 You don't know what his role is. I doubt it's telling McBeane who to draft.

I don't have an issue with PSLs since they are like a user fee. Those going to games will contribute a share to the stadium cost. I just hope they are reasonable.

It's called knowing your customers.

They play at home against Monmouth in Rd1. Thursday 3/21 6pm. Should be on ESPN+.

They took out the #1 seed Toledo in the MAC tournament but fell to Kent State in the final. This is the only UB major sports team that showed a pulse this year.

Blue Jays because they were Buffalo's team for two seasons. NBA, no thank you. I'll stick with college ball.

I kind of wish we stop paying attention to Diggs tweets.

It's more like 30K or less considering each STHer holds 2 or more seats. Very few single seat holders.

Oh well.

Update....

There is that argument. And football is not basketball. But part of the appeal of the NCAA basketball tournaments is every team, all 360+ schools, can become national champion. In football it's only 4 schools that are picked by a committee.

As long as they give the G5 (or how ever any non-power conferences there are these days) a couple seats. If I ran things every conference champ would be in.

Any sense how many sections those heaters will be set up?

Brandon Beane's gotta be looking over his shoulder for you.

Cam Lewis missed two preseason games due to injury in 2019. That's it.

Because we didn't sign a whale in the first 5 minutes of the tampering period?? Cam Lewis is solid depth with years of experience with the Bills on special teams and a backup DB. What you call a scrub.

No hard facts @eball. Just a sneaking suspicion based on my initial conversation with my Legends rep. When I said ideally I wanted coverage and heat, she said something to the effect of "well some club owners might not renew so there could be some of those left." Uh no. I'm not buying clubs. And I recall the survey describing non-club heated and covered seats at a certain price point that I was definitely interested in. My memory isn't the best but I could swear when they started talking about this stadium it was supposed to be 85% covered. Now it's 60-something%, right? And @SoCal Deek if prices are ballooning (and overruns are 100% on Terry) they can easily take out things like heat in certain sections. It wouldn't require a redesign. Just don't wire and install them. Maybe the thought is they'll do it later.

Fewer sections with heated seats

The public contribution is set at $850MM. The rest is up to the Bills and Terry. That includes PSLs, loans from the NFL and out of pocket. This is why I'm worried they are downgrading amenities to keep costs low. As you know everything costs double in WNY.
