  1. Driving from Philly to BOS on Sunday and want to stop at a Bills bar along the way... thinking either in Westchester or one in CT. Which bar is the best? I would love to go to McFadden's in NYC but do not want to head into the city. Also, I will not make it to the Harp in Boston in time... so, we want to stop along the way! Appreciate any input - thanks
  2. This is the preferred message board for Patriot fans: http://www.patsfans.com/new-england-patriots/messageboard/forums/patsfans-com-patriots-fan-forum.10/
  3. Kim & Terry - give Josh an offer he cannot refuse. http://nesn.com/2016/09/josh-mcdaniels-reportedly-plans-to-leave-patriots-pursue-head-coaching-job-in-2017/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. No link but being discussed on Boston radio (98.5 The Sports Hub)
  5. Heartbreaking news for St Louis Rams fans... my heart goes out to them. I have followed this issue for years. We all knew sooner or later the NFL would send a team back to LA. Just surreal that its finally happening. History in the making. I am thankful for the Pegula's and their commitment to WNY. I sincerely hope the political leadership from Albany to Erie County are working together now to partner with the Pegula's in their plan for a refurbished or new stadium. GO BUFFALO BILLS
  6. So, I like to check out the opposing teams message boards each week... for whatever reason, I cannot find a decent board for the Eagles. Yes, I Google but the options suck. Which do you use? thanks
  7. Hi, curious to know if any of these Bills Backers Bars in Connecticut are active? Going to be spending some time in Stamford this fall and would love to watch the Bills games at a backers bar. Any insight is apprecaited! thanks Connecticut Bills Backers of Hartford Tavern House Grill 200 Merrow Rd.

  8. thank you - really appreciate the advice. question - I know you're based in the UK but do you happen to have any advice on renting cars in Ireland? We are spending most of our time in Ireland - and plan to rent a car and explore the Island. We are hearing nightmares about fees and additional coverages and expenses associated with the car rental. Any advice?
  9. For those of you going to London; have you received your tickets from TIcketmaster UK? We are jetting out over a week before the game and would like to receive the tickets prior to departure. Also, are there any events or pre-game parties or official tailgating events planned? thanks!
  10. Hey - thanks for posting on the stadium wall! A few of us are heading over to the UK for the Jags/Bills game - checking out Ireland for 6 days and London for 4 days. We've never been to Ireland and wanted to check it out. Have a few questions: 1) I know you've only been over there a few months but have you found a Bills backers bar in Dublin? We will be there a week before the Bills/Jags game in London and would love to watch with other Bills fans! Be even fun to meet another fellow Buffalonian across the pond! 2) Have you explored much of Ireland? We are renting a car and plan to go explore outside Dublin - our tentative plan is to head up to Westport, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Killarney, and then fly out of Cork to London. Are we taking on too much? Other areas worth exploring? 3) Any must see places in Dublin? Any insight is appreciated. thanks
  11. Anyone know if there is a Bills backers Bar in Dublin? I looked at the Bills website but no luck. If anyone has any suggestions - cool pubs - whatever - in Dublin - please chime in. Go Bills!
  12. So my buddy and I just booked flights to London. First hitting up Ireland for a five days then London for five days. Starting to look for tickets. Notice nothing left is at ticketmaster uk. Stub hub? Any other sites to recommend? Appreciate your help. Go Bills!
  13. So, did anyone from a national media perspective say anything positive about the Bills draft?
  14. Not biased or anything, HammersLOT? Bottom line - the Pegula's will build a new stadium. Whether a new stadium is build in Orchard Park or Buffalo, there will be a private and public finacning colloboration to fund this project. It makes ZERO economic sense to spend any additional money in Orchard Park. Pegula is investing millions in downtown Buffalo - no way he will invest money in OP when and miss out on the synergies he is currently creating in downtown Pegulaville. Will things change? Yes. Will taligating be different? Yes. Can the City of Buffalo's infrastructure support the stadium and traffic? Of course, the city and supporting highways was built at a time when it had DOUBLE the population. Building a new stadium in Orchard Park reinfoces all the bad decisions that made Buffalo the 4th poorest city in the US.
  15. Number 1, Being a bit dramatic comparing the size of Gillette/Stadium Place and the Galleria. Number 2, you may have missed this part in my opening - "within the existing street grid."
  16. Most will not disagree with you on some of your arguments - but there is NO reason why form cannot follow function. I laugh at your comment regarding an "architectural fetish in WNY" - have you ever been outside Love Joy? People in most towns and city's care what buildings, bridges, parks and infrastructure look like... They not only want them to be functional; but designed with respect. If Buffalo, Erie County, and New York State are going to collaborate and invest in a stadium with the Pegulas and maybe the Jacobs - there is NO reason to not build something significant. We only get so many opportunities to spend tax and private money on something amazing; let's get it done right. And why not design a new landmark for WNY?
  17. Impressive response. Although I cannot look a gift horse in the mouth - I wish the urban pioneers of today (Pegula's/Uniland/Ellicott) would be a bit more aggressive with their designs in Buffalo. With that said, I respect Gehry but I am more of a Calatrava fan... I just think Buffalo really needs to dig deep into their history of attracting the best architects and designers and build something truly cutting edge. I'm not saying people will come visit Buffalo because of our stadium; but ask the folks in Milwaukee what the Calatrava designed Art Museum or Boston's Zakim Bridge did for the psyche of the region - they all point to those designs with pride. Calatrava Boston's Zakim Bridge: Milwaukee Art Museum: Other Calatrava designs:
  18. Patriots Place general manager eyes Foxborough expansion Let me just say - I am all for an new stadium in downtown Buffalo. I don't care if it has a roof or not. With that said, I would like to point out what they are doing here in Boston/Foxboro with Patriot Place. It is quite clear the Bills and Erie County missed an opportunity to develop a similar concept in Orchard Park but that ship has sailed... I would really like to see Kim and Terry build something architecturally stimulating in downtown Buffalo. I would love the downtown campus to incorporate retail, housing, offices and restaurants within the existing street grid. Yes, I understand some streets will be paved over with the new stadium; but we really need to develop a synergistic plan with HarborCenter, First Niagara Center, Canalside and the stadium. It feels so good to have owners who crave to do the right thing... I know Ralph did his best; but it is time to grab the bull by the horns and think BIG for a change. The people of Western New York and the fans of the Buffalo Bills deserve it... Go Bills. On a different note - have you seen some of the stadium designs coming out of LA's latest attempt coming from the St Louis Rams owner. Pretty cool - blends right into the neighborhood. Although it is low key I'd really like to see Buffalo take a more modern approach like this instead of the Colts/Lions stadiums. Personally, I still really like this proposed design for Buffalo. I don't know enough about the merits of the proposed location but I still love the design. Kind of takes a real modern approach for Frank L Wright... going in the right direction in my opinion:
  19. For more information on the actual design - tap here: Roski's Los Angeles Stadium proposal
  20. Marrone simply forget he was coach of the Buffalo Bills; not owner.
  21. Upon further review - my bad - you guys are right. Let's bring in Scott Linehan... Report: Raiders want to talk with Cowboys' play-caller Scott Linehan about head coaching job
