KDIGGZ Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 It's an option but I wouldn't bet on it. The people on the panel are committed to keeping it in Erie County. We would lose a lot if it were in Niagara County or even Genesee County but sure "all options are on the table." The priority is to keep them in Erie County but if that doesn't happen it's still in Cuomo's best interest to keep them in NY state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Folks: This story just moved on AP wire. http://pro32.ap.org/...ible-home-bills jw Howard Milstien is politically connected and he owns acres of land in NF. Plus commuter rail lines run from Toronto to NF, Canada. Imagine an "NFL Experience" themed stadium, hotel and entertainment complex. PTR If it's a retractable dome I'm OK with it - only needs to be closed when WE want it to be. Maybe have fans vote on the way in. Please don't waste $300-$400 million on a roof that will get used twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) I hope this comes to pass. It is only venue and area I'd like to see for a new stadium. JMO. It's the only option IMO. Attractive natural venue, just about as close to b lo as the Ralph now, closer to southern Ontario, no different to most of WNY population, a stadium there would be attractive for other stuff.... Niagara Falls economy is in tough shape in need of some stimulation/redevelopment, making it a perfect political target... Why would they look anywhere else?

Donald Duck Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Where? When and How Hows it going Ye ole, Note: After some research, I can't find anything backing my claim that mist could become a problem for a stadium.

oman128 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No All 12 of them? No the thousands of folks that come from Jamestown, Dunkirk, Olean, Slamanca, Fredonia, Busti, Lakewood, Findley Lake, Cassadaga each week to support the Bills, plus not to mention our friends down in Warren Pa, Sugar Grove, Youngsville and even those that come from Erie Pa.

T master Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 As the one politician said the Bills were born in Buffalo but the Bills are the ONLY NY State team so they should do what ever it takes to keep them here . Put the stadium at the intersection of 3 county's Niagra , Erie, & Genesse & have all 3 counties pay for the stadium instead of just one … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMannn Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Cool. Although this is one of many possibilities, I'm fine with a Niagara County site and the shared Bills-Bulls practice/training facility is a nice tie in to financing from NYS. Living in Erie county, I'm fine too with Niagara county footing the new stadium bill Edited April 10, 2014 by MarkyMannn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a simple count of cars coming from the south vs from the north to RWS and do the analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) From the article: "The critical thing here is that we all have to come together as a region to make certain that we keep the Bills here," Dyster said. "If we lose the Bills, we're all losers." Say what you will about politicians, but I am glad Senator Schumer is involved in this process. I would hate for infighting at the local level to result in losing the team. Someone at the level of US Senator can more easily step in and quell bickering between cities/towns/counties. When it comes down to it, any Western New York location is better than LA/Toronto/London/the Moon, etc. Edited April 10, 2014 by jimmyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, say what you will about him or anyone else, the involvement of a US Senator on this stadium committee is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
