The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I honestly usually say something generic like "The Bills stadium." But that's when I'm talking to non Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackOrton Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 It’s the Ralph and probably always will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen local media and Bills official social media say it in attempts to be hip. Never like, an actual person saying it in conversation.

Never NEVER Give-up Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 OK so the 3 of us call it the Ralph! That's it! It's official - write it in blood!! ? I get why the Pegula's sold the rights, but I wish they would call it New Era Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Then we could call it a whole host of things - The Ralph and The Cap being 2 favs! That way they could splash New Era's name all around the inside and we would still have good names for the joint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I remember reading that Bob Rich early on was a potential suitor for the team. I was kinda rooting for it if Pegula didn't work out. Simply because of the fact that the Bills used to play in a stadium named after Rich (or his product at least), and owned by Ralph Wilson. Then would have came full circle, playing in a stadium named after Ralph, owned by Rich. Just now, Blue on Blue said: I call it War Memorial. My Grandpa always called the new arena The Aud till the day he died. Don't even know what it's called now honestly. Key Bank I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 The last time I was in the building it was Rich Stadium, so that name still sticks with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember using the term, but I must have. By the way, the Aud had that indefinable something. It was an electric place for sports.

Some of my friend group does actually. We started doing it in a mocking / joking way but now we’re inadvertently using it in casual conversation.

I was only there a handful of times towards the end. I remember a few Blizzard games, and a Sabres Alumni game. But I was young, so I didn't know any difference. My dad tells me I decided I had to pee right as Gil Perrault took the puck behind his own net. He told me I'd never forget this, and if I pee'd my pants, he wouldn't be mad. I didn't pee my pants, but have no recollection of it. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I still call it Rich Stadium and honestly, when I think of the arena downtown, I think of Marine Midland. This poll will be skewed by certain ages that respond. Sincerely, Sitting right now directly next to two orange seats from the Aud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I call it the Ralph. But Rich Stadium still resonates with me also. I don't remember any controversies from the Rich family--unlike other rich families in WNY. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
