Jimbob Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-page/viewpoints/article833545.ece?twobillsdrive Agree 100% Any cities that get reborn focus on Downtown...Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis. Hope the locals can see the light on this....but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Great article, but what about funding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaattMaann Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 all I have to say is...yea right, keep dreaming....this would require cooperation and economic input from TWO countries, a billion dollar organization (the NFL), a multi-million dollar business (the bills), two counties and several city governments....maybe if we had a dictator who "just got **** done"...but at that level of government/money there would never be cooperation to make that happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How would I get to the stadium from Hammers??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTW2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm all for a downtown stadium IF it can be a multi-use facility that can bring people into the city more than 7-9 times a year. The author does not mention what this new downtown Gateway would be used for, outside of Bills games, and presumably Bisons games, since he wants it to be on the site of Coca-Cola Field. That suggestion alone, that Coca-Cola Field could be razed/renovated/expanded to accommodate his vision, is absurd. Does he want a AAA baseball team that averages maybe 10k a game to play in a 70k-seat football stadium? CC Field is working just fine as it is- why fix what ain't broken? I'll give him points for thinking big, and I agree that sinking $200 mil into a 40 yr-old stadium in the suburbs might not be the best investment, but he needs to come up with at least some ideas what a downtown stadium can be used for outside of Bills games. I'm surprised the News published this, given its lack of details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Funding for 200 million is going to be tough enough. I do like this line of thinking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
