How far have the Bills come? We are at our own 25 with 33 seconds and it's like "Yeah, we can get some points."

Agree. They have several games against ODU-level competition. I was counting those as wins but now can't be sure.

Overall an undisciplined performance. Lance had at least two of this kind of game so I'm not panicking. But Mo better be fixing this.

Wow. 35-7 at the half for UB. Then gave up 4 unanswered touchdowns, only to win when a 15yd PF call on ODU caused their kicker to miss the XP w/19sec to play. 35-34!

Slow start, and oy vay the punt team. But they are rolling now.

But TG weekend they aren't around anyway.

AD Mark Alnutt says a new track/soccer stadium is part of the plan. Probably enhancing Kuntz Field.

I agree. But they really want their students involved. Personally I want the most fans at games. In WNY football is played in Highmark Stadium. If UB was there, especially on weekends when the Bills were on the road, people would come out just for an excuse to tailgate. And it's been pretty good ball the last few years.

If you were paying attention to the post I was replying to, that person acted like 10K for a fireworks display brought the world to a standstill. My point is 20K is no big deal. I wonder if people's expectation of what traffic is isn't a little skewed in WNY. Waiting 10-15 minutes leaving a sporting events qualifies as intolerable. Just to be clear, who's making the mistake?

I doubt that was the main reason. Probably access to land was the big one.

There are several factors that go into UB attendance. Quality of opponent and time of game are big. (Remember the MAC plays a couple Tuesday/Wednesday games that draw crowds in the dozens!) But a typical Saturday game gets between 15-20K. Basketball averages around 4-5K. The article also describes a plan to improve the current UB Stadium by removing the running track, digging down 10 feet and adding closer seating. But it's still a terrible stadium. But if NYS is going to spend money on that AND a new Bills stadium, why not at least look at building one shared facility? Why not tear down the current UB Stadium and build a new one on the same spot? UB could play at Highmark for a few years during construction. UB didn't even get brought up as a contender to move up to the AAC, which is kind of a slap in the face considering it's the flagship public athletic program in New York State. A new stadium might make them more attractive.

UB could and should play at least one game in the a Bills stadium each year. Thanksgiving Friday would be a nice tradition. Last time they did they they got their second largest crowd ever, 26K.

I go to UB football and basketball games all the time. 5K for Basketball, 15-20K for football. Never an issue leaving.

How so? You are charging the stadium user part of the cost of building a new stadium. Ticket revenue is shared with the visiting team. PSL's are not.

Why? It's very likely that PSL's can be spread over a few seasons. So the impact will be blunted. It will be an extra bump of $10-20 per ticket. Personally I've been expecting this. But they better make this stadium worth it.

Poorly or less than perfect? I think expectations are so high an adequate performance is deemed unacceptable. Some of the greatest QBs of all time have had "bad" stretches.

I get that good content costs money to create. I just can't afford 20 news subscriptions. They really need to invent an "EZPass" for browsers that allows you to read stories ala carte and pay as you go.

Just so everyone is clear, Soldier Field is 100% a new stadium, except for the old original facade. And yes, Chicago is a terrific city.

Look at ticket prices in December. It's obvious fewer people want to watch a game outdoors when it's cold.

I'm more concerned the Patriots will revert to some of their previous "tactics" and the league will look the other way, as they have always done.

Hot takes from people who don't watch every QB under a microscope like we do with Josh. Spoiler: even Mahomes plays like s### sometimes. They aren't robots.

Assuming you can find them. Rule #1 of bugging, hide the mics.
