Utah John Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 What does it mean that the stadium should be competitive with others? New Era Field is the only NFL stadium in WNY. There's no competition at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 7 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: You may be misinterpreting my post, which is likely my fault for how I worded it. I would genuinely like to know what leverage Goodell and the other owners have to force the Pegulas to either extort taxpayer dollars to build a new stadium or move the team? According to the chart that was posted elsewhere the Bills have a very good overall attendance, while a number of teams in bigger markets have a poor one. I think Goodell's chances of flying are overall better than his chances of getting the Toronto taxpayers to pony up for a new state of the art American Football stadium, but perhaps that's just me. And I wouldn't advise Goodell to jump out a window and flap his arms-er wings. Gums. Goodell flaps his gums. He’s an elite gum flapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need the state to make a large investment in our future, or there will be none. For the privilege of seeing my Bills... What ever delegation that exists in Erie County relative to the state capitol needs to be working with delegations from other regional centers such as Monroe (Rochester) and Onondaga (Syracuse) Counties. Right now I think that Erie County by itself in terms of a new home for the Bills is a voice crying out unheard in the middle of a very vast wilderness. I remember back on the old BBMB there was talk of maybe having a regional stadium authority where other counties would kick in but I think that is just wishful thinking. Nearly all the other counties clear down to Seneca Lake which is the eastern boundary of WNY by most definitions have their own problems and probably would not be good for a nickel collectively to kick in. Right now I am having a very difficult time seeing a path for this to get done in terms of state politics. People need to get used to the idea of maybe a 250-300 million dollar upgrade at OP where the Pegula's pickup 2/3 of the cost with Erie County picking up a quarter and at that point maybe Governor Andy jumps in with the balance because he is up for re-election.

I believe they are still one if not the cheapest tickets in the league. Fans won’t pay more for tickets if nothing is improved. on the flip side even with a new stadium those same fans won’t pay higher ticket prices. You may get a different type of fan showing up to the game if ticket prices go up. If prices go up people will still pay up. But as you said, there might be some different type of fans, which might be what they want anyway. Either way, the stadium won't be empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo can’t get back to being a great city by living in fear or the past. Man can you say it louder for people in the back? There will be a new stadium, probably downtown. Maybe they decide on a retrofit at New Era, but with their other holdings downtown, it makes sense for the Pegula's to move the stadium downtown. They can keep the training/practice facilities in OP since that is where training camp will probably be. State could knock the upper decks off New Era and use it for training camp/ECC/HS games, etc. How it will impact taxes is a non-factor. Do most people know the exact cost added to their taxes if a new stadium is built? It seems the tax complaint is mainly one of principal. And I get it.

GreggTX Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It's absolutely ridiculous the way the NFL says these cities "have to" have a "competitive" stadium. There's nothing wrong with the one we have now. Didn't we just spend millions on an upgrade too? How many upgrades before that? You'd think these stadiums are somehow broken after just a few years of use and then the taxpayers are on the hook for absurd amounts of money that would be better spent on teachers' salaries and pensions, healthcare, etc, etc, etc. Even more amazing is the way the fans just blindly repeat this mantra without ever questioning it. It's like our wars. When we go to attack a country that never, ever attacked us, no one asks how we're going to pay all those trillions of dollars it will eventually cost us, but a few bucks for clean drinking water or healthcare and everyone demands that we account for every penny before we even consider it.

That’s based on their stadium, but also huge amounts endorsement deals that the dollars flow directly to them, not shared with the league - Nike, Pepsi, etc. ( signed a deal with Nike when Reebok was the official sponsor). They also have their training facility called “the Star” that generates revenue for them. The net dollars that get shared with the visiting team is not the push here. Luxury suites and box seat revenue is kept by the home team. I believe it’s a 50-50 split for regular seats. If they raised ticket prices by $100 per ticket, that would roughly translate to an additional 3 million to 3.5 million raise in revenue for the visiting team. That’s a pittance compared to what they pull in from TV revenue and revenue sharing. This market will not support large PSL licenses, or a glut of luxury boxes. Seems like the push here will be “lodge” seats per the Bills survey a year or so ago. Love the stadium we have. Great sight lines, decent location for ingress and egress, and obviously the tailgating experience. Downtown stadium would have terrible traffic issues, and would most likely lose the tailgating. Best option would be a stadium upgrade - additional boxes, increase ticket prices a bit, and some sort of cover (like the dolphins stadium?). Personally, I wouldn’t pay a penny in PSL, but would pay an additional $50 in per game cost to my season ticket prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I am probably oversimplifying this, but maybe the real problem is the 60/ 40 split of stadium ticket revenue.

I thought most newer stadiums were downsizing. One thing Jerry has going for him is the standing room only tickets. I'm assuming they're cheaper, but 4-5k more fans buying beer and jerseys really adds up. Living in Fl. I don't know if we do that. Any idea?

Rochesterfan Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) 14 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: How is it going to be funded? Here is the question and more importantly it is the answer to why the NFL talks about the situation and is asked every year. The NFL is working to get as much public funding as possible. First off - I do not blame Goodell - he is the mouthpiece of the owners - so what he is saying is coming from the viewpoint of the owners - including the Pegula’s. You do not think they know what the Pegula’s plan is. So this is just a shot to the NYS and Erie County Govt to be ready to bring some money. They talked about this at other sites like SD and St. Louis and when they did not get the money - those owners elected to walk. I do not think the Pegula’s will walk, but the NFL will use that as a push to get this done and they will continue to use the threat of Toronto to push their agenda. It really has little to do with revenue and more to push what the Pegula’s and the NFL want and it allows the NFL to be the bad guy and makes the Pegula’s the good guys when it is finally done, but the financing will come either for a huge remodel - $350-500,000 with an extended lease 10+ years or a $500-750,000 stadium downtown and a 20+ year commitment. Why the Bills constantly get brought up is because of the lease deal and it is always on the verge of expiring with various outs. They did the big upgrade and got a 10 years of deal, but a new ownership group also came in and allowed it to be discussed for several years. Once they make their plan and get things done - we will begin to hear about the next site the lease is coming up and they want public money - probably Cincinnati. For the people saying the Pegula’s should tell off the NFL and just re-up the lease. The NFL is talking for them and giving the warning so the Pegula’s do not seem to be the bad guys. The NFL will push as much public as possible and that will allow the Pegula’s to go in at a 50:50 deal with future upgrades and infrastructure upgrades and probably some upgrades to the arena as part of this and they will seem reasonable and will get what they want in the end.

GG Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) After 9 pages of discussion of a 2nd hand source, let's put Roger's full comments in here, because there's a lot more there than PFT fire drill note. (Emphasis below is mine) About a year ago, the ownership of the Buffalo Bills commissioned a study about what to do with its stadium situation, either new construction or another upgrade of the circa-1973 New Era Field. What’s your understanding, the league’s understanding, of where that stands from the study, if you could shed light on that, and also, what is your and the league’s position on what should the next steps be for a facility in Buffalo? “Well, as you know, I’ve been involved with negotiations in Buffalo going back into the ’90s. Consistently through that time period, we have focused on the stadium and the importance of the stadium in the context of that, and the need to continue to renovate and/or look to see whether a new stadium is a better answer for the long term. This has been contemplated in the leases right up until, I think, the most recent one, which I believe was 2016, but that is coming to a close. At that point in time, I am hoping that it will continue, and I expect that it will continue to be a collaborative process between the public sector and obviously the Bills. We all want the Buffalo Bills to continue to be in Buffalo, to be successful. A stadium that is going to be competitive with other stadiums around the league is going to be important in that context, and I think everyone is committed to that, whether it is new, significant renovation or whether it is a completely new facility in a new location. I think those are things that the group has to settle collectively and to address over the next several months, if not sooner.” Edited January 30, 2020 by GG 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
