RoyBatty is alive Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Two contracts are "in the works". A consulting firm and and effectively a law firm probably on retainer. That is a long long way from real contracts about actually building a stadium. Actually sign a contract to start moving earth and cutting steel before I get excited.

No, it's going to be built of plastic so it can easily be moved away. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Being the Bills are one of the better franchises now that’s way to much revenue for upstate New York for them to just let go of it will get done probably have a contractor in place by summertime next year.

PromoTheRobot Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Don't be shocked if a shared Bills/UB stadium in Amherst re-emerges as an option. UB's stadium is obsolete. NYS could take care of both. Also don't be shocked if they propose a dome. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t surprise me, but what the stadium game represents should not surprise anyone in what is chosen in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Fair amount of vacant land on the East side of 263, but is it enough to cover parking etc. UB Stadium site might become parking, since UB has a second stadium for sports other than football.

BuffaloRebound Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 These are positive developments. State is engaged and won’t rubber stamp what Pegulas want. Maybe building a new open air stadium in OP is where they end up, but at least it looks like they are studying all alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I've been expecting and was surprised by your thread that said UB wasnt interested, but I also figured that might simply be an early negotiation position. Build the downtown dome. Move UB in on Saturdays. Get the MAC championship. Get a Bowl game. Get the State High School Championship. Get the X-Games. Get the Final Four. Lots of opportunities if done right. Or build an open air stadium in OP, and have it used 10 times a year... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been screwed enough time by them. Quote One contract, valued at about $500,000 will provide legal services for the state related to negotiations for the stadium. The second contract is about $150,000 and includes a real estate and infrastructure consulting firm. and I am surprised @PromoTheRobotdid not get a contract for social media.

The vacant land AND the Audubon Golf Course would give enough land for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
