All posturing , IMHO The who? Anyway, it's not about having extra money around this year, it's about what is the best use of public money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money stays local, is immediately multiplied back out into the private sector economy and the community gets an asset that’ll generally last for decades. Can anyone name a better use?

Maybe. I'm guessing they won't be interested in paying for naming rights in this moment of anger.............but you never know.........taking money from people's vice's ranks just barely above stealing it outright........so I don't think principle should be an issue for a well run gaming company. It's about the next buck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t have it prior to Covid not getting it any more. 5 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: You are aware that you don't buy a new stadium on Amazon right? It doesn't get built in China and delivered to your porch. It's built by hard working, blue collar construction workers, who buy construction materials from other hard working blue collar local product manufacturers.....who use the fruit of their work to buy yet more stuff....and wait for it..... to feed their children so that THEY DO NOT END UP ON THE FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES logs.....right? I'm getting tired of repeatedly cleaning this nonsense out of this Buffalo Bills thread. Stow it, you sumbitches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than a publicly funded NFL stadium? The funded stadium as a local economic stimulant has been disproven for years---and it has been posted one here endlessly. Considering how they are used (spare us the tired old "stadium concerts and bowl games" stuff), it an extremely limited use object that generates zero revenue for nearly every day of its existence. It's an asset that has almost no value other than to it's sole rent paying tenant for which it was built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So construction for construction's sake? Just build something to reap some small local bump unto the project is completed? Why not build something with value? You get the construction period increase in the local economy ands then the intrinsic value the structure you paid to have built? Isn't that intuitively a better way to spend the money?

Stow it, you sumbitches. With all due moderator respect....this single thread is devoted to the recent stadium financing deal. As best as I've been able to read, almost all of the comments (both pro and con) have been limited to that very topic, and it feels like everyone has been rather respectful....even in their varied opinions. My two cents. Just now, Mr. WEO said: So construction for construction's sake? Just build something to reap some small local bump unto the project is completed? Why not build something with value?

Now we're on the same topic. 🙂 Yes, in general construction projects are an excellent expenditure of public money. Some people think the funds are poured down the drain. They aren't. Construction projects take tax money and put them immediately back in the private sector from which the tax money came in the first place, with only a small fraction going to public administration.

Agreed, but constructing this is pouring public money into the drain. Its a 1.35 billion monument to what amounts to extortion. Build the same amount in housing. Instant value to many who actually helped fund it, that last way beyond the trucks pulling away and the ribbon cutting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until folks start posting manufactured faux political articles and hollering about how THEY DO NOT END UP ON THE FAMILY AND CHILDREN SERVICES in all caps, which drags the thread into the kind of irrelevant political screaming matches about made-up bullspit that 90% of the Bills fans in this community don't want polluting their forum.

($2000 avg PSL X 60,000) I know, but they will certainly offset any likely overruns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
