kasper13 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Never get a SB unless they build a 20,000 room hotel next to the new stadium. Buffalo is way, way, way short on hotel rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I hate to say it, but Buffalo would never get a Super Bowl. we probably would not want it anyway. There would be too much scorn too much negative press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 No... I can't even begin to imagine the whining by the media about having to go to Bflo for the SB, they are already pouting about Minneapolis. Minneapolis as well as Indy have a setup where you barely have to go outside downtown, everything is connected and right there. I agree that it isn't totally out of the question just because it is a smaller market (Jax got one) or booming economy (Detroit got one) but I just can't see it happening.

Dragonborn10 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 If anyone thinks Buffalo is getting a SuperBowl ever, I would be willing to bet the farthest that person has ever traveled in their life is Fredonia... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) Let me ask you all a question. Is it worth it to have a shitload of empty, out of business, shuttered hotels and restaurants once the SB has packed up and left town? I say stick it up your ass NFL.

707BillsFan Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I seem to recall Jacksonville had an issue w/ their total hotel rooms. Didn't they have to bring in cruise ships to accommodate people? While looking that up, I also noticed the NFL requires the host city to have 30,000 quality hotel rooms. I'm assuming that means the nearby communities as well. I don't even think Buffalo has a fraction of that amount (if you are counting quality). It's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oman128 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I don't know off the top of my head know how many hotel rooms there are in Minneapolis Minnesota who's just received the Super Bowl. But if we have a comparable number of quality hotel rooms, I think we'd be in the running. Edited May 22, 2014 by oman128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBUffalo Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It'll take some more hotels to get it done. I don't think it'd happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I seem to recall Jacksonville had an issue w/ their total hotel rooms. Didn't they have to bring in cruise ships to accommodate people? That's what I recall too, that they used cruise ships to add rooms. While looking that up, I also noticed the NFL requires the host city to have 30,000 quality hotel rooms.

Does Motel 6 count as a quality hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasBB Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I think a new stadium in Niagara Falls could result in a successful future Super Bowl bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Never get a SB unless they build a 20,000 room hotel next to the new stadium. Buffalo is way, way, way short on hotel rooms. 38 floors of the One Seneca Tower (formely HSBC) will do nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Minneapolis got their second Super Bowl, as a bow to their new stadium. Would Buffalo get the same perk? of course, This is the new Bills!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan1959 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 There are only three things that I want to see: (1) New, stable ownership that keeps the team in Buffalo, (2) a new stadium for the fans of this team, and (3) a return to playoff caliber football. I could care less if Buffalo is ever considered for a Super Bowl. My guess is that, in the long run, a Super Bowl would end up costing the city money that could be better spent elsewhere - for the people who actually live and work there. Economics is not my area of expertise. So, I may be wrong in that respect - and always willing to listen to any sound arguments to the contrary.

Jacksonville brought in cruise ships to add extra hotel rooms. Don't think that would work in Buffalo. Even if they could get there the ice on the lakes in January would not allow it.

NoSaint Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) If it's a dome I think nfl would have to do it. It would be a major struggle to have the needed hotel rooms, convention/event space, airport and transportation infrastructure. The Super Bowl takes a lot more than a stadium. Without seeing buffalos travel stats my gut says they'd be low on just about every bar needed to be cleared. Minnesota, in addition to a stadium, has hotel rooms, indoor walkways, I believe a pretty solid set of event spaces for when Nike, espn, maxim, bid light and more want to have big parties the same night as the nfl honors award show, and I believe I heard they are one of a very short list of airports that claim direct flights to every nfl city even. But they are cold, and so is buffalo, so it's kinda the same Edited May 22, 2014 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
