The Senator Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 39 minutes ago, BUFFALOBART said: It could be done. $35 million in credits might not be enough, though. A big hurdle to climb, but if there is anyplace to put a new stadium in Erie co., that would be the best location, in my opinion. The only location that I can think of in the city, would be the old train station re purposed as part of a new facility. I’d love to see the Central Terminal re-purposed, but there’s absolutely no highway infrastructure. Parking would also be an issue, unless you took 50 blocks or more by eminent domain, and tore down all the houses. (Not necessarily a bad thing, given the neighborhood.) The former owners offered it to the Senecas for a dollar, to be re-purposed as a casino. They even offered to throw in an adjacent 25 acres for the nation to build gas stations, tobacco stores, parking, whatever. The Senecas turned it down. I agree that the Bethlehem site is a good one for a stadium, maybe even the ideal site, but I think the Pegulas want it right downtown, with the rest of Pegula Sports Enterprises. They’ve been quietly buying up properties in the Cobblestone District for the past few years, and I think the Perry Street projects are the target site. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put in some piping to vent it out to a contained space, maybe the visiting team locker room? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Stop falling for the nonsense that local govts have to spend millions every few years to keep stadiums useable. We can't repair infrastructure that needs it, but we have millions to spruce up a sports venue that doesn't? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uticaclub Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The Bills have a lease with Eric County. Erie County are the Bills landlord. If you had a landlord that didn't take care of the property you leased from them, you wouldn't be happy. The Bills bringing you millions in revenue, keeping them happy is in everyone's best interest. You don’t want a situation like San Diego where in the stadium was neglected to point of where it became a complete ****** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
