I think too there will be other games held there… think College bowl games, neutral site college games etc., if there is a roof. Plus concerts etc. Jerry world is used a lot outside of just cowboys games, as an example 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy the relatively inexpensive tickets while you can. We will pay for the new stadium with increased ticket and concession costs, personal seat licenses, and higher taxes. However, I think it would do wonders for Buffalo's economy and the shops and restaurants within a few miles of the stadium would thrive. Finding a parcel of land that large near downtown that also has the proper infrastructure is no easy task. With the cost of land reaching a peak right now, they may have to wait a few years for the housing market to die down or risk getting into a bidding war. Maybe the land has already been purchased over the past few years? The time to buy is BEFORE You start talking about building a stadium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m pretty sure they are well past that point … seems like we heard about them buying up land downtown years ago that was rumored to be earmarked for a stadium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just what belonging to "the club" costs. There's always UB games for $20 up in Amherst. 42 minutes ago, Mike in Horseheads said: PSL Stadium had the Jets go from having a waiting list for season tickets to advertising that tickets are for sale Sucking will do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I love the economy impact studies of Stadiums. Yes, what new stadium brings in doesnt equate to a net positive for the economy monetarily. However, what is the impact of losing a franchise on the ecomony. That is net difference that we are talking about. Buffalo without the Bills or paying more to keep them with an enhanced watching experiance inside the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having seasons, but I had a hard time justifying the cost this year. Not sure I could afford a PSL situation Yes the idea of PSL's suck. But in a way it's like a user fee. Why shouldn't people who go to Bills games share some of the cost of building the stadium? Financing will likely be a mix of private and public money. And PSL's can usually be spread over years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea here is to lower the public portion as much as possible. The Pegulas will pay, as will Legends or Delaware North. (Whoever gets concessions.) The NFL with their Stadium Loan Fund, Fans with PSL's, state and local governments. Edited June 18, 2021 by PromoTheRobot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so I'll bet they will be lower overall. A couple grand on average. Maybe some seats with no PSL. But you can bet part of the process is knowing who your market is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
