If this guy still has NFL talent - he should be on a team. Absolutely ridiculous what has transpired with this issue...

Thanks everyone. I know I can watch the game on the Bills Mafia Facebook page. Shane always streams it live via Facebook live. I was just hoping to find a bar and watch football w the locals. thanks again - everyone! If I don’t find a bar I’ll just order the spaghetti and meatballs on a gondola w the wife and watch the game on my ipad!

This looks good to me - thank you!

lmao - not true! Just want to watch the Bills at a bar and Google is not helping!

Hey - in Venice this weekend and am trying to find a bar that might show the Bills game. Anyone have any advice? thanks

Anyone selling two tickets to the Bills Backers tailgate tomorrow? Please let me know! Thanks

Worth the wait. Went there this evening - waited a good hour - go in and grab some beers - come back to the line outside - makes the line fly. PS: Where are Sabres fans watching the game Saturday night in Nashville?

Yea - ask Cleveland circa 1995.

We are jetting down for Nashville from Boston for the game. Staying at the Westin. Can’t wait.

....88,000 residents + 15-20 million visitors annually.

All the more reason to improve public transportation.

I can't really speak for oldmanfan but I think he was referring to the "development of rapid transit systems connecting downtown Buffalo (including the Southtowns), Toronto, and Niagara Falls." Our regions need to improve the transportation between TO and BUFNIAG... there is incredible investment already ongoing in Niagara Falls Canada ---> Ontario will not ignore that and knows the lifeline for that city in Toronto... no reason we need Ontario to spend a dime in Buffalo Niagara - but on the Canadian side? Why not?

WIN WIN WIN Winning solves everything... and yes, Canadians will come to games for a quality product.

Lipstick on a pig. No one is going to invest $500M on a stadium in the middle of no where.

Like your thinking - big time. This is where the Pegula's need to flex their muscle and influence both here in the states and Ontario (if they have any)...

It's a no brainer...

Agreed... yet at the end of the day - the current stadium will not last forever and will need to be replaced.... and when it does get replaced - moving it closer to the urban core and the Canadian border makes all too much sense. ps: no one is calling for Jerry World... and Levi Field is nothing special

True - Buffalo is SMALL if we only consider the population in the US but let's not forget the huge and growing population in Southern Ontario. If we could include the population south of Hamilton - the Buffalo metro is considerably MUCH larger and more competitive.

Yes, infrastructure will need to be updated and enhanced but let's not forget the population of the City of Buffalo was 580,000 at one time. The City is now 261,000. The infrastructure is there.

Why spend money in OP when our market is NORTH of the border? This stadium will likely be built closer to Buffalo Niagara so that they can tap the almighty Canadian dollar. It's our only chance of long term survival. They sure as hell will not be building in OP to maintain tailgating.

Also, let's not forget another significant funding source: the NY Power Authority must be leveraged for a significant percentage of the tab.

Somewhat stadium related: New sites proposed to replace Buffalo's 'obsolete' convention center Option 1: Expand the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center between Franklin Street and Delaware Avenue. This option envisions renovating the existing convention center, expanding it into what is now the rear part of the Statler building across the street and taking over the entire block north of the Statler. Sky bridges would connect the parcels. The preliminary cost estimate: $350 million to $429 million. Option 2: Build one large and contiguous convention center at the HSBC site between Washington Street and Michigan Avenue. This option calls for constructing a convention center from scratch near Canalside on land currently used as paved parking by HSBC and The Buffalo News near KeyBank Center. The preliminary cost estimate: $329 million to $368 million. Highlights of the study were shared with Howard Zemsky, commissioner of Empire State Development, the state's economic development arm. Also briefed were Mayor Byron Brown, Bills and Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula and key members of the state delegation in Albany. Curious timing - wonder if we will start to see more attention to this post election. If option 2 comes about - will we see a multi-use stadium/convention center emerge?

NY Power Authority - they will play a HUGE role in the funding of a new stadium...

Don't forget about the NY Power Authority... the can CERTAINLY assist with paying for this. Also, Jeremy Jacobs / Delaware North said they wanted to help build/manage the new stadium. No, please no not clone Lucas Oil. I cannot stand Lucas Oil Stadium from a design perspective. We have enough real stuff in Buffalo that we don't need to Disney the F out a stadium with fake preservation/industry design. Go bold and modern.
