  1. The diamond is supposedly worth $24M, not the procedure. (side note: the "diamond" isnt worth that much either.)
  2. Chevy beat me by MONTHS. Didnt even see this when I went to the new post update today. Credit where it is due.
  3. Welcome to America!
  4. Couple of things. Milwaukee counts in their market, which isnt much bigger than Buffalo but it's not just the Green Bay area that is counted. Heck, they even get some of the Chicago market. Plus, brand value comes into play as well. The history and championships do mean something. It's a big part of what makes the Cowboys the most valuable team, and why Jerry Jones will always volunteer for Hard Knocks (keeping that brand in the spotlight, any spotlight). I mean, the Championship trophy is named after Green Bay's old coach. There is big brand value there compared to the Bills.
  5. Nope, its all about the market size, TV revenue, and local corporate availability for suites.
  6. I'll let them have this dumb twitter contest. We're going to stomp them into the turf irl this Sunday.
  7. https://www.buffalobills.com/fans/bills-backers/ Interactive map looks to have a couple options.
  8. The Bills provide a list and an interactive map to help find this as well... https://www.buffalobills.com/fans/bills-backers/
  9. Agreed. I think most of it has to do with that inexperienced QB. He left a lot of easy yards on the field when he refused to scramble, or just tuck it and run. (And UGA being pretty good of course)
  10. It's one of the symptoms of success. There really isnt much to complain about nowadays, or even debate over. Heck, our own threads here have died down, and have wilted into arguments over whether our weakest position is CB depth or TE depth. Not even a starting position! Makes for fun times, but boring radio.
  11. Jordan Davis really showed out Saturday night. Looking like a lock at a 1st round pick. Probably well before we go at #32.
  12. Was so disappointed when I turned Sal and Joe's new show on today, and in their introduction they explained "We really want this show to focus on fan input from the phones and social media". That's the last thing we need. I get it is tough to come up with 2 hours of content every single weekday. But damn, please don't focus the show on the infamous "WGR callers".
  13. While I believe the main point of this thread was specific to Bills In-Game Song Traditions, since it has taken a turn to the more general "stadium music", I'll share the playlist we put together for the Bills Backers Atlanta club that goes to Whitehall Tavern. Not put together in any order, and usually functions better on Shuffle. List of "generically" popular stadium anthem bangers...
  14. It's even better to listen to them Monday morning after the Bills beat them. Growing up in the 80s/90s, my dad and I had a tradition of going to Wegman's the day after the Bills beat the Dolphins and buying all the local Miami papers. Just to read the local guys trashing the other team and enjoying the misery. 🤣
  15. I like it. They were in dire need of more/better Bills coverage, and no one wants to hear about the Sabres nowadays. Give a couple hours to Sal and Joe. They deserve it more than hockey or OBL.
  16. I thought that was Steve Christie and Little Ceaser's?
  17. They have the Patriots as a #1 seed. Most of those "fans" are cheering for the Bucs nowadays. Garbage poll.
  18. Gold Jacket pic for HoFer Lombardi Trophy for All Pro Bills helmet for Veteran ... Peter Pan guy for Probation
  19. Hahaha, that's all I remember him for as well. And that was to tie/break the record for TDs to individual players!
  20. Not sure how they can do that, logistically. If they sell 20,000 parking passes and only have 10,000 spaces what do they do with the parking pass holders after the lot fills up? Turn them away when theyve already paid for parking?
  21. Well then send $3B up this way! I'm gonna go deep on a tangent if we keep going, but we'd be back to talking about an enclosed stadium that can be used as a convention center as well. Bring in a Bowl game, as well as the MAC championship. I'm sure there are plenty of other opportunities since I already came up with these off the top of my head, and I'm no expert. Plus just increasing Buffalo's tourist draw in general. Yeah, I'm just spitballing as well. I'm sure folks already thought of all this in the extensive studies that have already been performed by the professionals.
  22. Cobblestone district does fine business already, year-round. If you build a new bar strip area downtown, it will get used more than on just gameday.
  23. The stadium alone and itself wouldnt. But, if they tied in bars, restaurants, other commerical facilities around there. Maybe another hotel. And built the long needed rail from the airport to downtown with a stop at the stadium... now we're on the right track. Absolutely agreed the city and state should pay for more on a downtown stadium, and would need to. Expand 190, add ramps, update surface roads nearby. But like I said, even if it's $3B, they could make it happen if they wanted to. It's the only team that would play in NYS. NYC makes/loses $3B everyday by 10am. The city is good for it. Make them pay for something for us for once.
  24. No, youre right, I'm a bit off on a tangent.
