  1. Just say "CHEAP." Ever wonder why UB is in Amherst? One of Nelson Rockefeller's major donors owned that land.
  2. Yes the bridge has sidewalks, on both sides. And I can see them making the bridge pedestrian-only on game days if it helps move people. Don't forget there's a bridge at Ohio Street too. I could see Ganson Street becoming Tailgate Central downtown. Look at this photo and tell me there's no place to tailgate.
  3. I don't believe the Bills want OP. They'll settle for it.
  4. It's a given something OP will get you nothing back.
  5. So walking over a bridge is unacceptable? How do people who park on California survive the death march to Southwestern Blvd, with the creek in the way?
  6. Downtown Buffalo isn't midtown Manhattan. They're are plenty of pockets where tailgating could happen. Ganson St. across the Buffalo River, by Riverworks comes to mind. They're are lots of empty lots in the First Ward. If you want to tailgate there are spots, even downtown.
  7. How about Pearl Street Brewing? Buffalo Riverworks? John Labatt House? Flying Bison, Resurgence, Southern Tier, Old First Ward or Belt Line Breweries? Hofbrau Haus? Maybe a live band at Canalside?
  8. So how do you build on what we have now? More parking lots for tailgating? Table jumping? Actual vomitoriums? I could suggest some things but judging by your "lame" reference you probably wouldn't like them. Even with a downtown stadium there will be plenty of places to tailgate.
  9. There isn't a decent hotel for miles. Does that mean Bills fans prefer RVs?
  10. Those toxic green glow-in-the-dark unis are the UGLIEST ever!
  11. Tailgating will not be eliminated. But you'll have other options. Imagine having nice hotels located next door for those of us coming from out of town.
  12. People spending money at the stadium and local businesses? Ever been to a Ravens game? You have tailgating but you also have restaurants hosting pregame parties. Not everyone wants to grill and chug beer.
  13. Was going to say Perry Projects too. City-owned land ripe for redevelopment between Canalside and Larkinville. Not necessarily. If the Perry Projects are offered up by the city that saves a lot on land acquisition. Tailgating will diminish but not completely go away. One way to argue the benefit of a downtown stadium is if local businesses host pre-game parties, etc. Besides, too much of Buffalo's gameday experience involves getting passed-out drunk. Honestly that's something we need to get away from.
  14. Why? It's rare for a team to have a training center at their stadium.
  15. https://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/211984/eddie-steele-fired-as-edmonton-elks-radio-analyst-?ref=mail_morning_recap This is why those covering a team have can't just go off on management.

  16. Did Nagy promise Dalton he'd be the starter no matter what? Reminds me of when Matt Cassell took the very first snap of the season opener before Tyrod took over. His contract stipulated he would be the starter opening day. https://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/23973/one-snap-played-gets-matt-cassel-extra-58-73-from-bills
  17. Not that McBeane wants him but why not Buffalo? He can avoid being made to look like a chump by Josh Allen and company.
  18. I thought this was a HOME Chargers game?
  19. Vantrese went 6-1 last year, though we were primarily a running team. His problem this year is our gutted O-line. (Thanks again, Lance.) But I do think giving Myers a shot is worth doing.
  20. I think the 2020 Census deserves an asterisk since they half-assed it.
  21. I think the Bulls have shown they are capable of playing well. They just have to stop screwing themselves.
  22. You have to hear this parody song done by a listener for a Brady Hater contest. Masterful. https://985thesportshub.com/episodes/brady-hater-contest-winner-bradys-plastic-surgery-the-stack-10-1-hour-4/
  23. Week 4 with a two game lead on the entire AFC East, 2+ games on the Dolphins. Shoulda, coulda been 3 games.
  24. It would have mattered big time if we were playing a good team.
