Brawndo Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 John Wawrow mentioned something similar on Twitter, that the goal may be a combo of a new convention center and a stadium. That would possibly increase state funding for the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would possibly increase state funding for the project. The ROI on that investment looks much better. If I'm someone who doesn't like tax dollars going to sports stadiums then at least there's more than a stadium coming out of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I didn't even know there was one in East Amherst. Â The tacos are good and I don't feel like I'm supporting the alt-right when I'm there. Â Just planting the first seed in the orchard of public funding requests. Â Transit Road, I think. And I agree: I don't *not* go there, full stop, because the owner went a bit bonkers on Twitter and RT'd some weird Info Wars type s h1t. But I may go there a little less frequently as a result. Â Good call on KP's remarks. And a good metaphor, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Having been exposed to the whole industry trade show/ convention center thing in a pretty big way this year, I don’t see Buffalo being able to justify the convnetion center needed to make this work. As Eleven mentions, the metro Buffalo area does not have the hotel space to attract meaningful conventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 What new features are mandated? I know PSL's was a big thing Kim kept mentioning as a thing the new stadium will bring. Outside of that? I'd imagine just technology and other stadium standards that just make the prices so high. (i.e. I don't think you can get away with not haveing an Atlanta, Minnesota, Dallas, or LA style stadium anymore). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Psl? Personal Seat License: You have to pay a fee to retain season ticket seats (Atlanta's was anywhere from 500-5500 per seat https://www.ajc.com/sports/football/falcons-plan-more-psl-prices-from-500-500/ZYaoaC9cD46noxAoVj88VM/).That fee is just the right to buy them. After paying the fee, you have to then actually buy the seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) Oh yea, I know a bunch of companies in Atlanta that balked at paying 50k just to buy seats.

Robviously Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Wawrow had a not bad idea yesterday; combine a new stadium with a new convention center. Of course, we don't have the hotel beds for big conventions, but it's an interesting idea.Thought that idea had been around a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
