teef Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Terry Pegula saying we're not moving is equivalent to believing in Santa Clause....interesting comparison. we're even talking nys taxes in another thread, and i'm still not as angry as the op.

Riverboat Richie Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I don't give a damn what Terry and Kim say. I guess some of you still believe the media and in Santa and the easter bunny. Buffalo aka WNY, can NOT afford a new stadium, sorry no. Fans in WNY can't afford PSL's and jacked up ticket prices, parking prices etc. Now all of a sudden the NFL dude says its right for the Pegulas to back off working on a new stadium for awhile? Sorry folks am an old realist and right now, in light of THREE Teams moving, I say the plan is to move to Toronto. The NFL wants a team there badly, they can support the new stadium, will pay to get the Bills there and it makes the NFL more money. If you buy this Bull crap of "oh they have the greatest fans, they have history there blah blah blah" I don't know what to tell you. The NFL does not give one S#@! about us the fans, they don't care about the history of Buffalo. They care about money, and if they get a new stadium in a big new market by moving the Bills, the Bills are gonna move no matter what the Pegulas say publicly. No go ahead and rant and whatnot on this thread, it won't matter in the long run if you do or don't. I am just looking at a financial reality with the NFL, and the WNY market. Well aren't you a little ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Don't you think they knew all of this when the bought the Bills? If they though there was no future then why invest so much money on the team? Remember when people said Ralph had no plan for what happened to the team after he passed on? They'll work it out.

bilzfancy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There will be a new stadium eventually, and the Bills will be staying in WNY, I have no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Let's just see how much cash the Pegulas are willing to chip in for a new field and take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I hope the NFL crashes like NASCAR did a decade or so ago. They need a good kick in their money grubbing balls. Hopefully TV ratings keep falling, then they can bring back real football real fans want to watch. I wish NASCAR would set up a track that runs right through OPs house.

teef Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 i've never felt more comfortable about the bills not moving since the pegulas have purchased the team. is it a possibility? sure...if you're a never say never type person, but this just plays into the op's history. it's either a thread like this, or a thread letting us know that the area can't afford the team, which also isn't true.

oldmanfan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 when I return to visit WNY, what I see are all the restaurant parking lots filled, people going to the mall, etc, etc. And I believe the Sabres sell a lot of tickets per game. People in WNY have disposable income, maybe not as much as folks in other cities but they do. And given the Bills importance to so many in WNY I have no doubt folks will still figure out a way to get their tickets and go to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time I visit family and friends in WNY I feel that the region is finally (and deservedly) undergoing a renaissance of sorts. I don't feel like it's mired in poverty as some here would lead you to believe. There's a base of startups and other businesses that can jumpstart the economic progress in the region that many have clamored for -- jeez, since at least the late 1970s -- and if I am correct, last year was the first in many, many years where the population hasn't dropped so dramatically.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I think they are happy to have teams on LA and LV and the moving fetish has been satisfied I think the NFL wants a team in London, and I suspect it's going to be Jacksonville. I also think they want a team in Mexico City, but I think that is further down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Mr. Pegula gives a crap about PSLs? As the man once famously said, "If I need more money, I'll drill another well." You do realize that the Bills cannot even plan a new stadium until their current lease expires? For a guy who wants to be "Kelly Tough", stop acting like a wuss.
