In Dallas' case absolutely. Not sure how active Ford Field is with non football events?

Teams like the Bills and Lions are at the bottom of revenue generation. (Around $500MM) The Dallas Cowboys are the top. (Over a billion) You have to pay salaries and whatever expenses out of that gross amount. So the Bills only clear $30-40MM/yr. It will take a long time to earn back the cost of the stadium at that rate. But AT&T stadium is used constantly the Cowboys sell sponsorships to everything. and Jerry makes extra hundreds of millions. Market size matters.

You need lots of events to do that. I wonder how active they will be with those?

A lot easier paying for your own stadium when you are in media market #1. Stan Kronke and Jerry Jones paid for their playpens but made their investments back relatively quickly. Not happening in WNY.

Maybe give the NHL itself credit for the Sabres being good since they ran the team between Rigas and Golisano. Terry, unlike Golisano, spent like a drunk sailor at the beginning. Remember the locker room refurb right after he bought the team?

He can sell some minority stakes in the Sabres, start taking some money out of the equity.

Golisano isn't why the Sabres had those good years. That was Darcy Regier. Tommy G bought the team at the right time. Then proceeded to wreck it with his cheapness. Please don't argue that Golisano was a better owner. He wasn't. Personally I wouldn't waste money on any boat, big or small. Just lease one when you get the urge to get nautical. Then again stuff like this might be more a billionaire d*** measuring contest.

Chance to make a cool billion? 🤷‍♂️ Buffalo was already a small market. Now thousands of Canadians won't cross the border. The Sabres rely on fans that are close enough to come in for weeknight games. Take out the ones in Fort Erie, Niagara Falls and St. Catherine's and you have a problem.

He also let our two best players walk out the door and wrecked a contender. Just saying. Ol' Sugar Packets practically invented cash-to-cap.

Looks and reads like a hatchet job. Pegula and the NFL still covered 60%+ of the stadium cost. The state share is now at 38% and most of that was money that came from the Seneca owned casinos. "Some people are angry" Then find a tweet of one person who's angry. That's what news these days.

I wonder how much of the old Patriots Way Vrabel is bringing back, including the cheating?

But $320MM in state money to build Yankee Stadium and Citi Field is just dandy. Keep in mind that a large chunk of the money the state gave to the Bills was money from Seneca Tribal casinos. So the actual taxpayer hit was under $300MM. Meh. I survived the Oranges at the old Aud. As long as there are hand rails I'm good. There are none in the current Highmark upper decks.

They are just making sure every existing season ticket holder gets called before they start on the waiting list. Now you can't say they didn't ask you.

As long as G5 conference champs get an auto-bid, just like with basketball. The best thing about March Madness is all 361 D1 schools have a path to the national championship. UMass would be a contender every year.

Actually what I felt was "This is the least interested I've ever felt watching a Bills game."

That's an odd way to spell "Gabe Davis." 🤔

Seeing the Hard Knocks cameras, he saw his chance to get an early start on his post-football acting career. He was showing his depth of emotions. It'll make a great demo reel.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6558436/2025/08/18/college-football-rankings-preseason-136/ (Sorry about the paywall.) The Athletic rates UB #73. Only Toledo at #71 is higher from the MAC. UB's FBS schedule: Minnesota is #44. UConn #83, Troy #114, Ohio #84 Miami OH #88, EMU #112, BGSU #108, UMass #134, Kent St. #136, Akron #132, CMU #115. If UB beats FCS St. Francis and every team ranked in the 100's, that's 8 wins.

They'll fertilize the grass field.

Aren't some of them still here?

I don't believe we saw our real defense yet. But what we have seen is scary bad.

You know it

Just when we are feeling our lowest, Spagsy stops by to cheer us up. What a mensch.

The guy we drafted instead of Shaun Dolac.

Someone might have gotten injured at the end judging by the emotional reaction.
