Then they can keep watching TV when the team leaves, this kind of arrogance is what will come back to haunt Buffalo.

Bigger markets that don't support there teams. And those TV ratings also go with a sold out Stadium.

Market size is a big thing with those ratings.

Do 6% of Buffalo population.
Do 2% of LA population.

Tell me what’s bigger.

All those places lost there teams because of bad fan support.

You need to get over the victim status you love to role with, same with your Beady alt.

Both you and Fitz were banned the same amount of days, for your juvenile behavior, you want to be insulting and disrespectful, you will be banned.

Just sent you a PM, because I am not doing this here in front of people. Next time I should hope you do the same.

Oakland had a very solid fan base. I live about 20 miles from there. They remind me a lot of the Bills Fans. Blue collar rabid fan base. They also have a lot of fans, just because of the colors of their jerseys. If they let the Raiders move, they will definitely let The Bills move without even thinking twice.

Buffalo was ranked 4th in TV viewership, it's a steady market.

This is entirely false.

LA has awful fan support but corporate dollars and sponsor are huge.

Atlanta was one of the worst I’ve seen, but again corporate dollars and sponsors are huge there.

Same with San Diego.

St Louis, Oakland, San Diego all said no to public funding. Hence they all left.

The Pegualas will want to put an end to the traditional tailgating around the new facility.

They lose revenue when the majority of fans are coming into the stadium drunk and full.

Lots will not open far in advance of kickoff and alcohol and barbecues will be prohibited in stadium parking.

The Peguals will partner with ECC and other neighboring businesses to ensure that fans are forced to park in stadium lots.

True. Just look at the attendance for the Chargers and the Rams before the VID. Horrible

If they use our money, we should get free tickets, concessions, and parking. Who pays for that stuff at a building they paid to build? NOBODY

They were pretty loyal to their team “back in the day”, I think the fans got tired of the owner’s act and they saw the writing on the wall after several tax payer funding rejections. By the end they were already over the San Diego Chargers, they knew the owner was looking to move for years.

all revenue should go to tax payers if they fund the stadium, meaning the county

and the county should control the tail gating and if the county pays for all the stadium, they should retain any profits from concessions

You need to get over the victim status you love to role with, same with your Beady alt.

Both you and Fitz were banned the same amount of days, for your juvenile behavior, you want to be insulting and disrespectful, you will be banned.
