The private lot folks are getting too greedy. $40-$50 to park a mile from the stadium?

Smelling Salts NOT Banned by NFL - (updated scents!)
PromoTheRobot replied to boyst's topic in The Stadium Wall
Weed isn't a performance enhancer. I didn't think smelling salts were. -
That man is the only reason the Bills are still here. If we had to sacrifice the Sabres to make it happen, so be it.

Tredae Sundae!

I think you will be most impressed with the Rochester market. -
how is Rochester? Im considering moving there from NE
PromoTheRobot replied to Pete's topic in Off the Wall
I lived there from 1990 to 1994 (Greece NY) and I visit frequently for family, so here's my take. Rochester is overall a nicer place than Buffalo. More nice neighborhoods. Wealthier suburbs. It's far more corporate than Buffalo. Xerox, Bauch & Lomb and Kodak are a big presence. It's also the optics hub of the USA. My brother-in-law's company does a lot of custom lens work. It's pricier than Buffalo but dirt cheap compared to Boston. The weather is dreary most of the year. But the summers are great and there are beaches on Lake Ontario to enjoy. If you like boating there are bays like Irondequoit and Sodus. There's AAA baseball (Red Wings) and a nice downtown stadium. AHL hockey (Americans) and NLL lacrosse (Knighthawks.) There are several top-notch golf courses including Oak Hill that hosts a US open. There are lots of terrific restaurants. There are also many ethnic enclaves that have their own stores where you can get amazing sausages and whatnot. There is a terrific Farmers Market in the middle of the city with great meats and breads, etc. Crimewise it has it's rough parts, especially just west of downtown. But it's no worse than your typical city. There is also a thing about being east of the Genesee River versus west of it. The river bisects the city and the east side is considered preferable to the western half. The city has the nickname "Smugtown." If you don't mind that Western NY weather, I highly recommend Rochester. It's only 65 miles from Buffalo. -
I know, we want the NFL and owners to pay 100% but they are covering around 60%. Also more than half of the state's portion was money that came from the Seneca tribe, so the taxpayer's portion is closer to 15%.

PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion
PromoTheRobot replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall
My desire was to be as close to those heated concourses as possible. That means top 2 rows of a section. Also those rows are usually covered by the deck above. I landed Sec 124 Row 21. $2,500 PSL but tix run $1600 each. The corner upper deck seats with the $1,000 PSL are running $950 each. -
PSL Pricing/Seat Selection Discussion
PromoTheRobot replied to Spiderweb's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think you'll be surprised at what is still available. of course a lot depends on how much PSL you're willing to pay. But even the $1,000 level are corner upper deck rows 7-10 are still available. -
You, and I, are chipping in a bit more for the cost of the stadium because we will be using it. And our combined share is around 5% of cost. The state and county are covering 38%. Terry and the NFL are paying the rest.

Yes, he is. Cook is the player you'd be crying you wished the Bills had if he were on the Chiefs. It all fits together. O-line & RBs. But Cook is a guy who squeezes though tiny holes and then has the burst to get past everyone. We all think Johnson and Davis can fill in and be fine, but while they are effective as a change of pace, if either were our #1, our run game would suffer

You could argue it, but... Cook is an elite weapon.

Not every player is as critical as Cook.

Columbus Ohio is OFFICIALY Getting a Team with an agreement for the stadium. New UFL Owner Mike Repole : “I think that partnering up with some of these MLS teams is going to be very, very exciting,” Repole said. “When we have 12,000 fans in a 60,000 [capacity] stadium, it looks like a COVID game. When you have 12,000 fans in a 15,000 [capacity] stadium, you’re basically sold out.” I think youll see a lot of partnerships between the UFL and the MLS League. Maybe even similar looking uniforms so fans have a a distinct color scheme to follow. Repole Continues: "The vibe hasn't been to where it should be," he said. "You can hear a pin drop when someone runs 80 yards. That's not so good. Nobody wants to turn on the TV and see 10,000 fans in a 65,000-seat stadium. It's like watching a COVID game."
