New York's Only Pro Football Stadium Field...just rolls off the tongue?

 

Don't let Albany hear that or it’ll be named Mario Cuomo Stadium.

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.

Yep, I think we all understand the business aspect, but that doesn’t make the reality any better. We’re going to see lots of business/companies go under, and Covid will get blamed for it. Covid already has destroyed many businesses (particularly small business), but many of the larger ones who fall apart were already struggling prior to Covid. Covid is basically the nail in the coffin for many American businesses/corporations who would have been able to survive a few more years without it. New Era seemed to have issues before Covid ever became a thing.

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

 

Simple.  They're hurting financially.       I suspect it's only a matter of time before Chris Koch sells out to Nike or Under Armor and retires to warmer climes...

Won’t be UnderArmour. They’re struggling as is and trying to get out of their own licensing deals.

So they got a PPP loan between 5-10 mil, and then turned around and still screwed their employees.  a$$holes.  


They got a PPP loan to pay for roughly 480 employees and then got down to 480 employees. They were at least honest about their intentions with the loan unlike a lot of other companies. They didn’t do anything wrong (at least as far as the PPP goes). They’re just a struggling company right now.

That’s leaving money on the table.....not the NFL Way. 

 

Call it Augie’s House, and I’ll kick in $500/year. I think it has a nice ring. I’ll need a Go Fund Me campaign to raise the offer. 

Actually, if they are not going to find a sponsor, we should all pitch in $100 and request the Pegulas to call it Two Bills Drive. That will be great fan service. 

 

But I know it takes a lot more than that to change all the ads etc. But a fan can dream

If it wasn't for the Steelers already having Heinz Field, get a ketchup company to be a sponsor. Then, install a giant ketchup bottle over the scoreboard endzone. Every time the Bills score a TD, the bottle spits out ketchup over the seats in that endzone. It'll be a whole new ketchup ceremony for the fans.

The naming rights they purchased was bad mouthed by the county executive (Polencarz)  Said he won't use it anymore.  If he works harder at it, he might get New Era to leave the city and state outright!.   good work Mr County Exec!  Citizens can then pay the taxes that New Era no longer pays.  (except, of course, the employees who choose to relocate to Texas with the corporate HQ)

If you read the article in the OP it explains that new era is hurting financially and this has been in the works for over a year. It had absolutely nothing to do with Poloncarz. New Era couldn’t afford the royalties.

Sell naming rights to the field and go back to Ralph Wilson Stadium.   Given the current financial landscape and an already overtaxed state this could easily happen again.  Naming rights for the field would be less taxing.

 

Off topic how did MandT end up paying for naming rights in Baltimore and not here?

I'll chip in another $250 on your Go Fund Me campaign. I think we're close to making this happen!

How many name changes is our dumpy stadium going to have?

 

I got it?????

 

How about they just call our armpit............. Buffalo Bills Stadium.

 

Is that so difficult?

 

 

There hopeful will be no interest in naming the "armpit" after an armpit which smells worse.
