I agree,

We probably make the playoffs with foles next year and all the picks we have. 9-7 Or 10-6

plug holes.

Or

Rosen or who ever we pick early might be aaron rodgers who makes up for the holes we have from trading the picks.

I'm super torn. I actually like both senarios

- Boss34



One is ideal....the other is mediocre.

And you're not getting Rosen unless you go to 1.

If its in the plans, they wont even break ground within 7 years. And its a terrible idea.

When ever and where ever the new stadium gets built, I will be there.

And:
Probably not as cold as I usually am for the mandatory 3 straight home December games

Dome preferred

Bills could easily like Allen as well.
Maybe even Mayfield.

I trust them, finally .
I trust the process

I have personally seen 3 sets of blueprints and traffic patterns regarding a downtown stadium. I almost started buying up property in hopes i would get bought out. After everything ive gathered from public and mainly private sources, it probably isnt going to happen. Keep wishing, but dont get your hopes up. Certainly not in the next decade anyways. Too many political and economic barriers as of now. Plus, be careful what you wish for. Buffalo has one of the best tailgaiting scenes in all of sports, that will all but cease to exist if they go downtown.

That's some actual insider info.

Much appreciated.

At some point the pegulas might be pressured into building a stadium by the NFL.

We need to start winning new or old stadium

down here in jacksonville


people tailgate in very small groups scattered over a 5 mile area


not uncommon to pay $25-30 for parking and have to walk a mile to get into the stadium

Winning cures everything.
you and others might want a downtown stadium but i dont think you will be pleased with the cost of your tickets and having to take a bus or train to go to said stadium.

Seat licenses have crossed my mind.
Traffic is pretty difficult now in orchard park
Probably get much worse .
I also imagine the stadium will be less capacity
I like tailgating but, I would rather not have hammered people all around me in the stadium.

I'm a hypocrite , because I was that guy for years

Or it'll be like Carolina Hurricanes and be really spread out and really far away from the stadium. When I went to game 2 of the ECF we had to walk like 15 minutes to get to the arena and there were people tailgating all along the route shoved in every little nook they could fit in. And that's hardly an urban setting, it's on the NC State Campus.

I think it comes down to pegula's ego


if he wants a super bowl, he builds a retractable dome downtown


if he wants what is best for the area, upgrades or a new stadium in the middle of nowhere

California Rd for life.

I was thinking, Jones Mahal almost looks like the dome structure of the stadium is stand alone from the stadium itself. What if they proposed a similar system for New Era Field? Just install a separately supported roof.

A superbowl? Thats not going to happen. There isnt even enough lodging for a superbowl. The reason new era field doesnt really get any shows, (i know there have been a select few) is because there simply isnt enough lodging for the capacity in erie county and surrounding areas. Thats one show, let alone the whole week long poopshow the superbowl brings with it. It would take soooo much more than a domed stadium to actually even be able to have the conversation about a superbowl.
The nfl already has a set requirement of like 35% of the stadium capacity for hotel rooms within a certain radius of the stadium. Buffalo would need more than 29,000 rooms, and theres only around 10,000 right now.
Put it to rest. Not gonna happen.
A new stadium will have to be built sooner or later. My money is on right next to the old one and the old one gets demolished and turned back into a parking lot for the new one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I getcha homie but it is what it is. Pegulas ego has/will be checked by the reality of the situation. I believe he will do whats best for the area on this one. Hopefully.

The original plans for rich stadium included an option for a roof. Still not gonna happen.
My other hand will fill up with poop before they put a roof on that place. Sorry

He was finally getting into his Groove you're just sounding like a hater
- gerbe75pts


Politician for sure.
Extreme left winger...
Lose an argument based on facts ... result is name calling.
Laughable at best.

Jack’s game absolutely friggin blew in October into December, then he turned it on.
Sam’s game sucked from Oct into January and then he turned it on
Both were/are playing at roughly a PPG pace...but holy hell Jack is a God and Sam is a loser.

Yourposts are like a little girls’ ... no consistency, favorites.

You are a hater, lol!
