Believe me, it's not by choice, taking care of my wife's family as they have bad medical issues... this area is an absolute dump with mostly horrible people, probably worse than Detroit.

Homey D. Clown Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Having spent my whole life knwing only Rich Stadium as the home of the Bills, this seems kinda sad to me. I know the place was old, but there wasn't a bad seat in the joint, and other than the lack of restrooms, it was by far the easiest stadium to get around in. You could get in from any gate, that can't be said at many of these new stadiums. Ohh well, at least that keeps the team in Buffalo till I'm dead...

Thats our reality You see when my parents were growing up only 1 parent needed a full time job to raise a family When I was growing up 1 parent worked fulltime and the 2nd parent had a part time gig The next generation you needed 2 full time jobs this latest generation will need 2 full time jobs and a side hustle NOW imagine kids being born tday and what will be expected from them to maintain middle class status so basically if you want nice things like football tickets or seasons you better work that sidehustle, a 2nd job, or sacrafice a chunk of other expenses.... When the Lamar's become the highest paid player someone has to pay for it.... and most of us will pay for it via TV revenue cause thats what we can afford Yeah I dreamed about moving back to Buffalo and buying season tickets but my reality has set in.... I choose retirement and watching most games on TV maybe I'll pick up a ticket or 2 but I'm not buying a PSL + tickets Edited May 5, 2023 by ddaryl 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF Bills Fan Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 14 hours ago, SoCal Deek said: I actually found bones on a construction site one time a few years back. I got to hold the jaw bone of a Native American in my hands. Super cool! The archeologist said it was something like 600 hundred years old. Turns out the site was a village, not a burial ground, so with the help of the local tribe we re-interned the bones on the property and made an educational walking path out of the location. Luckily it didn’t delay our construction all that much. That is pretty cool! Maybe, if they find bones on the site and treat them with respect, there will be a reverse curse nd we will win 4 Super Bowls in a row.

No PSL's, and a realitively large increase in ticket prices which are sure to happen with the new stadium IMO 20 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Where are all the "wealthy people" buying the tickets living right now? tickets are cheap compared to the rest of the NFL so I'm not even sure where this thought is coming from. I expect more out of towners making the purchase for purely resale when the new stadium is ready I have family and friends who don't make much money but stil can afford season tickets add in a PSL and obvious ticket price increases and I see a goods chunk of them not being able to renew with the new stadium Check out the prices differences listed in this article..

Well they legally couldn't do anything until the approval happened. They could have just sat around until June 1st for the ground breaking ceremony. So the fact that it's not technically construction stuff is still happening now, literally, to start building the new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 People…please! Everything isn’t a controversy. The groundbreaking CEREMONY is just that…a ceremony. It’s not at all unusual for this sort of thing to occur many weeks after actual construction activity has commenced. For example, with the new stadium there are asphalt parking areas that need to first be removed. That activity is not conducive to having public officials turning dirt with a gold shovel. There’s nothing to see here! Sheesh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
