TheFunPolice Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Can it be a nice airy bright dome and not an old airplane hangar like STL or Atlanta? Really hate the idea of a dome. I don't see a Super Bowl coming so just copy Pittsburgh's stadium Edited December 10, 2015 by TheFunPolice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I guess that explains how he got around the rule against owning two pro sports teams in the same small market city. $$$$ makes problems go away...IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Pegula was allowed to own two teams in the same market because the papers were signed on a Tuesday of an even numbered year.

Nick the Greek Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Get ready for the Pegs/Jacobs Dome, coming soon to Pegulaville.I'm wondering how long Ralph Wilsons name remains on the stadium. I'm guessing Pegs can call it whatever he wants at this point. Edited December 10, 2015 by Idandria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Pegula was allowed to own two teams in the same market because the papers were signed on a Tuesday of an even numbered year. That's not it. He is allowed to own two teams in the same market so long as he isn't in both buildings at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a Super Bowl coming so just copy Pittsburgh's stadium This is bang on! I'm wondering how long Ralph Wilsons name remains on the stadium. I'm guessing Pegs can call it whatever he wants at this point. I'm willing to bet that Kim and Terry have too much respect to name it anything else regardless of the fact they can. I think The Ralph will always be The Ralph. However the new Delaware North Perry St Project Stadium will be where the team is playing in about seven years. The Ralph will still be The Ralph 30 years from now when they realize it would have been so much easier and cheaper to tear it down in 2025 than 2050 Aye!

I am so thankful the Pegs bought the team. It's great for the city. But what if he names it Terry Pegula stadium? I think it needs to remain Ralph Wilson stadium but I think Peg might want to etch his own legacy into the NFL world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Mich Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was wondering if the Pegula's money pile was in danger of shrinking. While I follow the Bills I will admit to not knowing too much about how the Pegula's make their money. Many oil and gas companies are sliding toward financial difficulties as oil and gas prices continue to fall. Many have made huge investments and taken on a great deal of debt. Anyone know enough about the Pegula business model to know if they will continue to build wealth or do they have debt issues on their horizon, like many other oil and gas companies?

Yes.. the money may shrink. He's out of energy (mostly). The Sabres, Bills, Harbor Center and Pegula Entertainment were all built on funds he got when he sold his fracking empire. He laid all his cards on Buffalo (lucky for us). Outside of Bflo, I read he still has mineral rights elsewhere, and Pegula Entertainment has a sizable Nashville influence.

machine gun kelly Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 By some lists Pegula is the 4th wealthiest owner with $4.6 Billion behind Allen, Kronke, and Ross. On other lists he is 7th at $4 Billion with Khan, Jones, and Kraft ahead of him. It doesn't really matter as he has the net worth to keep this team here and invest in the team for the next two decades. That is one nice reassuring feeling when you read all of these stories about LA between the Rams, Chargers, and Raiders. It's too bad the NFL couldn't come up with a better expansion plan vs. relocation. They could easily add another division with two in LA, Mexico City, Toronto, or San Antonio as options. I know this is off topic, but with the owners meeting, there was a lot of press on the relo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I guess that explains how he got around the rule against owning two pro sports teams in the same small market city. $$$$ makes problems go away...IMO. The rule is that an NFL owner can't own another sports franchise in a different NFL city. IOW, it's okay for the Pegulas to own the Bills and the Sabres, but they couldn't own the Bills and the Avalanche. It's a competition thing, they don't want owners competing with other owners in NFL markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 You can freeze your azz. I want comfort. And don't sell our owner short. All things are possible when El Pegual sets his mind to it. This. The days of "football should only be played outdoors" are gone. Still can't believe how lucky we got. It's amazing, isn't it? By all accounts, the Bills should have left Buffalo years ago if not for Ralph's paltry initial investment, revenue sharing, and then the Pegs showing up.
