They could build a simple dormitory on site (think of a typical Motel 6) with maybe 60-80 rooms. After TC is completed, it could be used as a hotel during the season for extra income as part of a "Bills Experience Package". I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teef Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 i don't know if this factors into the equation, but he media loves the camp in rochester as well. they always seem to love the stay and have very positive comments on how it's run, the immediate area, restaurants, etc. peter king is typically pretty giddy when he does his write ups post rochester. i think it's just a well done camp. that being said, every year or two i'll go down for a visit, stay for an hour, and wonder why i go considering how bored i am.

It was cool when the Bills were at Fredonia got to meet many of them downtown in the bars like fountain grill etc. Ah the Fountain Grill.....beef on weck, fooseball, and the owners daughter was extremely hot. Went there every Sunday morning to clear out the cobwebs & play some fooseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Training camp has no affect on Season tickets. It will be moved back to Buffalo if McDermott gets his way. Without the Rochester fan base, you'd be watching the Toronto Maple Bills next year. Trust me. It's not moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they are signed through 2021 or something like that, but there's also a pretty inexpensive buyout option, something like $100k, IIRC. A friend of mine is pretty high up the food chain at Fisher, and he told me last year the feelings there are that the Bills will be pulling training camp out. I think it's a massive bummer. The atmosphere there is just electric, and as a Rochestarian I love having camp here. The setup, by all accounts, is the envy of the league. And I love that I can be at camp in 10 minutes, vs. the 90 minute drive we make eight times a year for home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really Ralph Wilson got lucky when he hired Polian, who hired Levy. He was the worst at finding GM's and coaches and his history in the nFL was all sub .500 Kelly said he never play for Buffalo but the USFL folded and he had no choice. But to think that training camp location somehow was the difference maker LMAO.. and McBeane shut down most of the fan experience last year, didn't even need to change venues Yeah it was a lucky run for one of the worst owners in pro sports. Outside of keeping the team in Buffalo any success under Ralph was definitely lucky Edited May 2, 2018 by ddaryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe when they build the new stadium downtown and it will have a hotel there - that is when they will move training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 What a difference a few years make. Our biggest worry went from losing this franchise to moving training camp from SJF to Fredonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no nightlife or distractions other than the falls. Um, Canadian ballet, casinos, when's the last time you were up near the Falls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
