Marv's Neighbor Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 What a hoot! Nice pic of BUF, well outside of February! Dome or not, who would ever WANT to go to BUF in February? Dome or not, you have to be able to fly/drive in out, and that's certainly never a given in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mil having a partial dome, tons of modern improvements, and yes it would be fun, but doubt it will ever happen. We also don’t have the local economy to pay for a new domed stadium with many mor suites. i appreciate you’re post, but not even close to likely. 500 mil? I cant see them putting 500 mil into New Era after they have dumped 400 mil over the past 15-20 years into it. Plus, structurally can New Era hold more weight? Regardless, Indy’s barn dome was 730 mil- thats where I am at. Enough of that relic- even thou I do love it in a love/hate kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Indianapolis and Minneapolis can host a Super Bowl, Buffalo could too. The Pegulas are leading the development charge downtown. Ten years ago I'd have said no flipping way. But now? People hung out in the Mall of America- that doesnt seem like a dream Super Bowl vacation to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 On January 24, 2019 at 6:48 PM, PromoTheRobot said: There was just a story on the news about Buffalo having too much hotel capacity. Maybe that's part of the plan to land a Super Bowl once the Pegaladome is done? Too much capacity relative to the numbers of visitors who want to stay in Buffalo on any given night, but not enough for a SB crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlonce Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I hated the Super Bowl in Minneapolis.It was bitter cold there. Everything was indoors. Loved the other three venues,especially Tampa. It was 30 s and 40s in Atlanta for the Bills last SB,but certainly was palatable. Buffalo will never get one. We couldn’t handle the population influx unless people stayed in Canada.

Punching Bag Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 On 1/25/2019 at 10:31 AM, The Senator said: Wanna know why Buffalo will never host the Super Bowl? In addition to requiring a 70,000 capacity stadium, climate controlled if the outside temperature falls below 50 degrees, here are some of the other ridiculous requirements: https://www.rd.com/culture/super-bowl-host-city-requirements/ . Like the NJ Superbowl Super Bowl XLVIII? Rules are changed (exceptions) when they want to make them. And no Buffalo is not getting a Superbowl even if it is a dome stadium named after the commissioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought about that one too, but I think Goodell is more prone to make exceptions for cities with a new stadium - especially a brand spankin’ new palace like MetLife (the most expensive stadium ever built, with the largest capacity of any NFL stadium, at the time it opened). Also, NYC is a much larger market, with way more than enough hotels and restaurants, and with considerably more clout and appeal than Buffalo. Heck, Buffalo’s hotels and restaurants are bursting at the seams even when we occasionally host the first round of March Madness. Can’t wait to see how we handle the Frozen Four in April. .

There was a major winter storm in the NE the week of NYC’s SB. The League was very fortunate it stopped before Sunday and the stadium could be prepared for the game. I don’t forsee another open air, northern city stadium game. On another topic, Chik-filet (or whatever the noob OP’s name is, didn’t bother to read the T’s & C’s of thread starting protocol either, so this one ends here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
