New Era name to be dropped from Stadium


Recommended Posts

Good!  F*** New Era.  A good friend lost their job last week at New Era.  Yet someone with 10 years less experience at the company in a similar role, kept their job.  I will no longer buy a cap without looking at the label to see if it is coming from these greedy bastards.

Huh?  It's had 3 names so far in its 47 year history: Rich Stadium, Ralph Wilson Stadium and New Era Stadium. 

 

Actually, I remember that in it's "rookie" season, it was actually referred to on network telecasts as "from The Stadium in Orchard Park, NY"...

So it might actually be 4 names....

My question is why are they trying to get out of their deal?

Do you think due to COVID, New Era is on the brink of bankruptcy might have something to do with it. It's like a car loan and New Era can't make the payments.

That would be so embarrassing. Pegs would never allow.

to keep things in line with the Pegula ownership I could see  "One Buffalo" Stadium It doesn't really roll off the tongue though

 

One Bills Drive Stadium

PSE Stadium

Hunters Hope Stadium that would be a very cool name.

I'll go go out on a limb and suggest that New Era, like thousands of other companies in this country, is bleeding out cash because of COVID. They looked at your friend's salary, then looked at the person with 10 less years experience doing the same job, and realized it was cheaper to keep the younger employee.

 

I know it's fashionable to whine about "these greedy bastards," but if that's your thinking, you better buckle up. Based on the current trend of over-the-top freakouts about COVID, don't be surprised when New Era and companies like them throughout the US go belly up in the next six months and fire everyone.

 

But hey...maybe if they were less greedy and paid people with money they didn't have, everything would be as right as rain.

Yes, Pegula would never allow for one of his pro franchises to suffer embarrassment.

...they also had the right to first refusal on a new stadium........Chris Koch who is buds with Brandon was all set to hire him......Pegula did and continues to have Brandon blackballed from ANY employment in Buffalo.....he is still not working.....he got $2 mil severance and has been living off that.....so perhaps Koch got sick of Pegula's games...who knows?....

 

So this is over Russ?

I think Genny should pony up so we can call it "Genny Cream Ale Stadium," or "The Screamer" for short.

 

 

They'll have to add about 2,000 more stalls in the bathrooms for that to happen.

 

How bout, "The Garbage Plate"

You have to feel for career people though who put in 10 years and then get canned for being too successful. It's very cruel but a harsh reality. Success and longevity at a company brings a lot of risk. Same thing just happened at my company with mass firings of long-time employees while rookies stayed on. Just terrible.
