What makes me mad is you get these articles that mention how the naming rights are just about to decided and we never get any follow up. While I understand there might be legalities with leaking information. It would be nice to at least have an article mentioning a handful of companies in the running. Just to keep us informed. I hate it, journalism is dead anymore. Edited February 8, 2021 by IronMaidenBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 42 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Well. I've said a long time ago that the Pegulas should build a a mega stadium that is the home of the Bills and the Sabres. In 10 years the Sabres facility is considered ancient. A new stadium will take 3 years to complete. It makes sense for the Pegulas to consider it. I also believe a naming rights deal will also come with news of a new stadium. Do any other football teams share their stadium with Hockey teams? Serious question because I have no clue. But the overlap of the season (up to four months) and the amount of games the Sabres would play a week seems like it would be a nightmare to have them share a place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infeasible. The sitelines would be terrible too for hockey. No other teams do this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it should, but it's not as far-fetched as some are thinking. In fact it's been done, albeit on a smaller scale that would be needed, in Ottawa. I don't even know what it's called now but it used to be the Civic Center. And basically the grandstand on the one side of the football field serves as the roof of the hockey arena. Or something like that. I was there once about 35 years ago but the memory does fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine, but I don’t understand why we can’t get approximated information about it. Why can’t they narrow it down to a list of companies that we are potentially choosing from. Surely that would circumvent the legalities of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the size of a basketball court is smaller than a hockey rink, relative to a football field they are somewhat similar as is why hockey and basketball often due share facilities. I had been a few times to games at the Carrier Dome, I often stated that I had great seats for a football game (40 yard line) except they were playing basketball and I had great seats for a basketball game (mid court) except they were playing football (upper endzone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labatt Blue had a partnership with Bills for a free hat if you bought a 12 pack of more of Labatt Blue and sent in UPC code and receipt. Unfortunately you do not find out that your shipping address needs to be in NYS and 75 or less miles from stadium until AFTER you fill out form. It does not state where you need to PURCHASE it so I just used a relative in Buffalo to mail it to. It was deceitful for them to do that for they were advertising it in twitter and other forums without mentioning this detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This reminds me of the old math problem: you are standing a certain distance from a wall, and you walk halfway to the wall and stop. Then you walk halfway again and stop. And so on. How long does it take you to hit the wall? And the answer is never, because there will always be a certain distance between you and the wall. The naming will be announced if and when the naming is announced. I'm not holding my breath. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
