Why are folks acting like pub financing is new or unique?
2004: In April, the Cowboys announced plans to build a $650 million stadium at Fair Park in Dallas. The deal required $425 million in public financing from a 3% hotel-occupancy tax and a 6% car-rental tax.
No one is acting like that. They're pissed because they may lose their seats and can't or won't pay the asking price.

I'm surprised by how binary this conversation is. Most folks are either applauding the move or criticizing it. Pro or Con.
I'm ambivalent.
I don't like the cap ramifications. And I want Josh to have better weapons this year than last, not worse. With both Gabe and Diggs departing - whatever their shortcomings - we've lost a lot of receptions & yards. I'm sure Beane has a plan to replace the lost production with Samuels being part of that plan but we can't see the whole plan yet which makes me wonder how solid it is.
On the other hand, Diggs had attitude problems, wasn't much of a deep threat anymore, didn't thrive under Brady, and, given his age, the clock was ticking on his Buffalo career anyway.
Neither happy nor sad, I'm just curious. What's Beane going to do with limited resources to get Josh the targets he deserves?
we lose $3M is cap space this season, plus Diggs...gain a lot next season

Anyone looking at a PSL as some type of investment opportunity is probably checking out bridges in the Jersey swamplands too.
I don't think anyone is thinking that

Ha all good. I mean the cap hit on this gross, really surprised they did pulled the trigger this year, it makes me wonder if something happened behind the scenes that is gonna come out after the fact.or maybe trading him a year too soon instead of a year too late?

in conclusion, PSLs suck for the fans but the Bills will sell out the stadium regardless.

Then a boat. Or putting a pool and patio with kitchen in your yard. Or maybe a second "hobby" car, like a Vette or some classic car. Or if youre me and really into cycling, a pro-level road bike ($12-$14K).
A PSL is no different than stuff like the above in that its part of the "cost" of the thing that one enjoys for recreation. And if youre one of those folks who make going to Bills games in OP a priority in your life for fun and rec time with friends and family, this is the current price of participation in 2024. Thats not to sound callous...it sucks that so many things have gotten expensive.
to most people a car is a necessity. The other things along with Bills games are hobby's and luxury's.

Vet minimum to kick the tires and see what he offers in camp? Maybe. I wouldn't expect us to make a move for a RB until after we see how the draft falls though.
team friendly deal, on the cheap , don't overpay.....prove it deaL......right?

Not to be an ass, but if you can't afford this and pay for it over 30 years, how do people afford vehicles, where you end up paying way more than the sticker? And the other ass part: if the people of Buffalo won't buy the tickets, others will. I could see myself getting a 4 pack when the locals drop from the list, if they even do.
I really don't see the Bills having an issue selling every PSL. In fact, the very people who can't afford the PSLs are the very same people who smash tables and get ***** faced before kickoff. They want a cleaner, family-friendly experience which generates more revenue; that's how you cash in.
Purchasing a football ticket and a car is not a good comparison.

The only problem here is that you often have to listen to Tony Romo say over and over again, "I want you to watch....." 😂
I watch all games with volume off. I don't need someone telling me what is happening then after the play another person telling me what I just saw

So can you still kick it into the EZ? If so, same boring play…doesn’t matter where everyone else lines up.
true but ball now placed at the 30 on touchbacks

I really dislike that they passed this without trying it for a year in the pre-season first, like have done with MANY other rules. If players, coaches, fans, etc hate it... why keep it?
We may all love it but at the end, all of the rule changes coming are harming the game.
I think it's a one year thing and looked at after next season

But it's still the demand of the minority. Put these to a public vote statewide and it goes down but you'll never see that.
I hate PSLs but it's a private company offering a product.

Interesting. If he accepts, that would be an interesting move by the Phins. He was OK for Baltimore and would give Tua that extra "out" target that Odel is so good at. Nothing crazyu to see here but found it interesting as the Phins are trying this off season.
you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means

Sooo the focus of this thread really shifted from the original dirt, concrete, and steel that’s in the thread title to PSLs and ticket prices.
Might it be best to create a separate thread for these and other Bills PSL & ticket & the stadium experience store concerns? Bc I keep clicking on this to see any construction updates only to find another page full of the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth about how it’s going to be too expensive for average Buffalo fans and everything is going to change.
I just wanna see life size Tonka-type and cement trucks, cranes, and steel here. Please.
there is

It’s just an expression not to be taken literally. The point is that he has the potential to be a great addition, we were the team that landed him, and I suspect other teams a d their fans may not realize that.
I know. It's an expression that annoys me
