The new stadium in OP will be great.

 

Once the renderings come, the board can crap all over it for 3 years because internet, but when they raise the 3 SB banners before the home opener in 2026, it will be packed.

Schopp has spent two segments pissed off about the stadium deal. He started off the show with, "How long do we need to talk about this today?"  He was more interested in talking about (partially tongue in cheek) the Bills need for a safety in the first round. He hates all of the money put on the taxpayers and so on

Undoubtably you mean RIT?  Rotate in Tightly.......81-85 was my sentence.

That walk on the quarter-mile was absolute brutality in the winter. I understand that's it's now mostly shielded by buildings.

Anything that pisses Schopp off is good in my book!

Tottenham was an engineering marvel. It was built on the small urban site of the old White Hart Stadium (picture the Rockpile)....so they chose to build the new stadium in two halves. They built one half of the oval while still playing in the existing stadium, then tore down the old stadium, and completed the other half of the new one. Amazing. It was all intended to save relocation time for the team , but later on troubles in construction ended up with the Hotspurs being away from home for an entire season longer than they were supposed to. The best of plans....

Construction costs are outrageous now.  Can’t go by a raw cost.  Needs to go by a some ratio.

 

Should have done this 6 or 7 years ago.  Would have saved hundreds of millions. 

The problem was that 6-7 years ago there wasn't an engineering study that said the stadium was feasibly beyond repair.  Once a safety issue was introduced it was a much easier sell than in 2015.

Josh Allen is Buffalo's true savior. Without Allen and a winning franchise it makes this deal a lot less likely imo. 

 

Yeah, when the new stadium in Indy was constructed they called it The House That Peyton Built. Maybe true here with Josh, certainly a huge influence.

 

Wow. This is so strange. How many years have we been hearing the "Bills need a new stadium" talk? And now here we are. I'd started to believe it would happen and assumed it was just something we talk about every year, like Tom Brady retiring

I've been searching for audio from when he went nuts about all the public money spent downstate on the Nets, Mets, Islanders, Yankees, and Rangers/Knicks deals.

 

 

 

 

How could any Bills fan be unhappy?

 

Your taxes paid aren't going to change either way. We just get to keep our team here. We pay for tons of things that we don't even know/care about.

Today is a great day to be a Buffalonian

 

The whole offseason so far has been great. Resigned a lot of our players. Got stronger at the LOS on both sides of the ball. Got a game changer on defense in Miller to improve the pass rush. Now we have a new stadium which keeps the Bills in WNY for a long time.

When did you get them?  I got mine through a friend last year as I was "out of the area". 

I just renew every year. Have not lived in NYS since 2000. But was grandfathered in the out of area stuff.
