We have the best tailgate in the entire league because we are not downtown in a major city. There are no good downtown NFL tailgates. If it moves downtown we lose what we enjoy today. Long live Orchard Park 

 

If you had to choose, would you rather have a winning franchise or a place to tailgate? Sometimes I get the impression that eating & drinking in a parking lot is more important.

It does seem to many that hanging out in the parking lot pregame is the game. 

 

It seems like a big reason people don't a new stadium downtown cause they are afraid of higher ticket prices. At some point Bills tickets are going to have to be more in line with the league average. A new stadium will probably have tickets close to an average of $150.

And that's the line the Pegulas are walking. Bumping up revenue but still keeping it to what Buffalo can support.  Never forget that they want the team here. The rest of the NFL? Not so sure.

I saw there was a front-page article in the Buffalo News yesterday about how the prices for property in the Cobblestone District have been skyrocketing recently, tied to the speculation that it’s where a new stadium will eventually go.

It’s been the only option since day one. I had a moderately high-ranking politician tell me that five years ago.

 

Things can change but I think anybody who completely denies that possibility is ignoring a lot of arrows pointing that way.

It’s not about the arrows, it’s all about connecting the dots. Some poster from Dunkirk has enlightened me.  😉
