Hammered a Lot Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 http://nydailynews.com/front/story/312531p-267290c.html PSL's love them, HA. Stadium blasting in Amtrack Tunnels No Blast Zone, Stadium over runs Highway to make it a Olympic stadium who pays for that ???? Est cost of Woody Dome is now 2.2 billion or is it more like $2.75 billion with "Hidden Costs"? If this joke gets built, it will be time for the Bills fans to tell Ralph sell the team to someone who will keep the Bills here is WNY. NYS should spend $200 million to tear down ( for the jobs ) one upper deck, at the Ralph, per year and rebuild them. And then NYS should promise to give the new owners $10 million a year for 30 years Total $500 million which is less than 1/5th the cost of Woody Dome.

KD in CA Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 As far as the Olympics go,it seems to me that this is a guaranteed money loser.Think of the security costs alone.If the Feds want to foot the bill,then I say fine.Otherwise,take your pipe dream to some other country. The 'Feds' are still footing the bill with our money. I say take this Olympics boondoggle to Europe. No one in NYC wants it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I think NY would be a horrible choice for the Olympics right now. The state cannot afford to pay for this stadium. 2-3 billion dollars for a stadium is a sick joke. They should at least build it somewhere where the real estate is cheaper. This is out of control.

Puhonix Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 10. What kind of a football stadium doesn't have tailgating? The Jets claim most of their fans will come by train. Just proves what we've already known, Jets fans aren't true football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
