But based on the article, this is a timeline both him and Hocul agree on. It's not really a conflict. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 For what it’s worth, the wife and I took the tour of SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams and Chargers last week. It’s absolutely amazing! As we walked around I couldn’t help but think that one day the Bills will also get a new home, and these threads will morph into reviews of the new stadium’s amenities, sight lines, etc. Just like WNY, Southern California was sorely in need of a proper stadium. Bandaid after bandaid had been put on the historic, outdated, coliseum. With the opening of SoFi those days/years/decades are a distant memory now. I wish nothing but the same for WNY. Go Bills! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills, no matter downtown or in OP, will have such a stadium where we are all proud of the end result. "All proud of the end result". Who am I kidding! This is TBD! There will be complaints!

ALF Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Instead of wanting a downtown site for a extra $700M , a roof in OP for a extra $300M would be my choice. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does any of this mean it's done or does this just mean it's a line item in an unapproved budget that now needs approval from the state legislature which I thought I'd read isn't even going to meet to discuss until early next year. I certainly think they will approve it eventually bu not before much grand standing and ripping of payouts to billionaires by some. Fortunately most of the people screaming about this are from the same party as the governor so that will help make it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 If this game isn’t enough to convince TPTB to put a retractable roof over the new place…. This is all kinds of sloppy, for the third time this year and we haven’t even hit the cold yet. As the effects of climate change hit harder over the life of the next stadium, we’re going to have this even more. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
