Bleedingreennc Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The Bills need to stay in Buffalo, football is not football without the Bills there. Not a kiss ass statement, just stating as a football fan, i love battles the Jets have with them. Also being from NY, i have a lot of friends that are Bills fans. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big contribution from the county will be ECC South land. But it has to get done fast in case Cuomo gets in trouble next election cycle. The Bills want it done ASAP for a reason. Well that didn't age well and today is only the 8/3 lol. Hochul will do what she has to in order to make it work. Then whoever is next won't matter because the deal will be done and the State will have tp honor whatever the obligation is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good article. Like I said, this all came from one reporter with no real connection to the Bills. If it wasn't entirely made up, the sourcing is extremely suspect.

Good article. I have kept several versions of the article. The writer has no need to validate since will not be writing any Bills stories or doing any media ones. it appears to come from one of the political organizations in Albany but not pay attention to NY politics to tell which group.

Malazan Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 1 hour ago, BUFFALOBART said: That was a really short sighted move. Buffalo could've purchased a number of Trolley cars, from Cleveland, for $20 million. The rail line would've been extended out to the UB Amherst Campus. An economic opportunity lost. Depends on who you are...seems like several people made a lot of money off that project. Not you, not me, but seems like a great economic opportunity for a select few who never had to face consequences for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 On 8/2/2021 at 4:09 PM, Just Jack said: There used to be a Bills train, I believe @Albany,n.y. took it a few times. Here's an old article about it... BILLS SCHEDULE FIVE AMTRAK 'EXPRESS' GAMES | Latest Headlines | buffalonews.com I used to live between Rensselaer where the train started & Schenectady. In the beginning, when I went with others, we'd all meet in Rensselaer, but later I realized it was easier to go to Schenectady. Also, if I was going alone I'd go to Schenectady because I could sleep a little later. As the years went by & the Bills were no longer a Super Bowl contender the number of riders diminished. I remember one of the final years the Bills were playing the Eagles & I got to the Schenectady train station and it was dark & spooky & no one else was there. Finally 2 or 3 people came & when the train pulled up there were only 2 train cars attached. I had the feeling that day that the Bills Express wasn't going to be around much longer.

Honestly I would wager that more people tailgate than attend the game .. In all of the private lots and Bills lots and grass lots combined there are more than 73k Yet only 73,000 make it into the stadium.. there are thousands plus who never leave the tailgate Edited August 4, 2021 by Buffalo716 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it's my opinion Going to Bills games my entire life I have ran into plenty of people who never left the tail gates.. bars and lots I used to take the bus to the game years ago, and there were a few people who never got off that bus every week.. they were so drunk they never even went to the game With all the partying going on and all the private and public lots yeah I would assume there's thousands of people who do not go to the game... 25k might be much 3 minutes ago, JoPoy88 said: His 25,000 number is a wild exaggeration but yes there are many people that tailgate and do not go into the game.
