This has nothing to do with the Bills--except to those obsessing over a move that's not going to happen.
Love your condescending optimism!

FAR from perfect.

If the actual FALLS cannot save the city of Niagara Falls NY, a stadium anywhere in Niagara Falls will not help one bit - just like the Casino has not helped.
I am from Lewiston; now live in MA... was home this weekend for the holiday and decided to watch the fireworks in Niagara Falls. The city is a mess. Pine Avenue is a mess. Main Street is a mess. Some of the housing stock is ok but most of it is shot.
There is NO sex appeal about the actual city except for its name and the state park. Anyone suggesting they build the stadium either on the state park or anywhere near the actual FALLS or Rainbow Mall have no clue wtf they're talking about...
EVERY politician associated with Niagara Falls, on the local, county and STATE (yes, Governor, I am talking to you) - should be embarassed and responsbile for what Niagara Falls is today... the area should be deemed a disaster area and rebuilt. Only then, can we seriously talk about Niagara Falls as a viable option.
Given the economic and socio-economic conditions of NY State - our options include:
1) Remodel current location
2) Build in Buffalo
3) Build near UB North off 990 and team up with SUNY Buffalo Bulls
4) Build on Grand Island near Beaver Island - amazing views of both the Falls, skyline of both Buffalo and Niagara... (yes, build a bridge from Canada to GI; and another access point near NT).
5) Niagara Falls

Hello,
I'm in the market for a new 46 inch TV and I am interesting in the following tvs:
Sony BRAVIA 46" NX810 Series LED HDTV - KDL46NX810
Samsung 46" Series 7 LED HDTV - UN46D7000
Samsung 46" Series 6 LED HDTV - UN46D6400
Anyone have any advice or feedback? I like the Samsung's Smart TV interface but I like to overall look and finish on the Sony.
thoughts?
thanks

The Hamilton Tiger Cats want a new 30,000 seat stadium. I think if you can build a 30K facility it's not that big a jump to 70K. That is a project I would watch closely. It could become a threat out of left field.

I agree - it is a concern... and although Hamilton is easier for American fans I think Toronto wants the stadium within city limits not 40 miles away.

I live in Boston and always listen to the Sports Hub (98.5) - wish Buffalo had a radio station like this... I never listen to WGR's sister station here anymore...
Anyhow, I didn't hear them ever bash the Ralph (not saying they didn't) but I have heard them put down our location for being too difficult to get IN or OUT via traffic.
Excuse me - but how how many roads lead to Gilette Stadium? Why do fans leave at the start of the fourth quarter in New England?? It's to beat the horific, one way in / one way out option called Foxhole.
ps: Patriot Place is a joke - worst designed / set up ever.

I remember playoff games that couldn't sell out in the 90s, including the greatest comeback ever. The sad truth is there are a lot of people who won't go to games when its cold. First playoff game will be rockin'. Then if they don't go any father people will lose interest.

It's so nice we can always count on your positive input at all times.

Can't you just go to the game and not worry about the stadiumwall. It's not going anywhere.
-
Can someone please explain where all those corporations are surrounding Green Bay? Jacksonville? New Orleans?
Oh... thought so.
The Bills brand and market is bigger than Buffalo - it's not going anywhere - settle down and go buy tickets and jerseys.

ok ace.. sorry.. next time i will try and get it right..thank god for sharp guys like you!
Wonderful.
Every year Toronto media try to make more out of this "series" than it really is...
Last I heard, Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson is in no hurry to have his team play more than one annual regular-season game in Toronto.

If you're going to post such a misleading topic title and posting - include the link and get it right!
Half of Bills Home Games in Toronto?
Saying Rogers is in it for "the long haul," company vice chairman Phil Lind says the possibility has also been raised of expanding the Bills presence by splitting as many as half their games between Buffalo and Toronto. -

I live in Boston. Been here eight years too long. My friends and colleagues all know that I am a loyal Bills fan and Buffalo booster.
They respect the fact that I am loyal and stand by my team.
If someone gives me **** about my support - it says more about them (ignorance) and less about me.
It's called respect and character.
Go Bills.

All the reasons stated above make sense... (economy, no marquee players, no play offs, blah blah blah) but I am curious - do the BILLS advertise in Western/Central NY and Southern Ontario? You might argue that the Bills already have a known presence, etc but...
I was in Miami/Fort Lauderdale this past weekend and the Dolphins are advertising everywhere; even @ the beach they had planes pulling aerial advertisements pushing ticket sales.

Although I prefer a downtown BUFFALO stadium; I'm not against a Niagara Falls Stadium. Our future in north of the border; not Rochester.
However, there is no way in hell a stadium for the Bills will be built in or near the oldest state park in the country.
When the time comes; build the stadium in downtown Buffalo.

Beggars can't be choosers but... if we ever remodel Ralph Wilson Stadium - I really hope we don't go with the reno-route like the Kansas City Chiefs. And if we do - I hope we do a much better job with the design:
Kansas City Chiefs - Stadium - 1
Kansas City Chiefs - Stadium - 2
Kansas City Chiefs - Stadium - 3
Kansas City Chiefs - Stadium - 4
But the architects who designed Kansas City's "retro" remodel (HOK/Populous) have done some pretty cool stuff:
Helps Buffalo's fetish with cable stayed bridges - how about a cable stayed stadium?
I do think Paul Brown Stadium would like nice on our Waterfront

Didn't see this posted so thought I'd share:

Did you notice that Sun Life Financial is based in Toronto? Although sunny Miami makes sense - it's really too bad the Toronto Series didn't have a better presence. I could live with Ralph Wilson Stadium being renamed if it brought in $4million a year.

Great concern here in New England about the fact that the team has yet to sell out the Ravens/Pats game this weekend in Foxhole. It will no doubt sell out but the fact that tickets are available at ticketmaster; and going for below face value on Craigslist has people and talk shows buzzing.
-
Just wondering if the Bills/Pats game is sold out this weekend. Last I heard there were 2,000 tickets remaining (about 3 weeks ago).
Doesn't look like it's sold out - you can always check here:
