I’ve driven by that area a few times and noticed how close together they are. It’s almost like claustrophobic. I've been to games at both places. It's great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That Aud Smell 1,202 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Haha - no sh1t? Should have known it was going this way after I read that they were talking about just playing all games on the road, and treating some of them as home games. Or maybe playing in Baltimore with a whole fleet of portable changing rooms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Disagree, you now have a pro sports team staying in Buffalo hotels and eating Buffalo food. I think every little bit of that will help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kas23 123 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hotels must be ecstatic. That said, Buffalo will now have large groups of people from all over the US. To think they won’t be breaking quarantine would be naive. Shock Cuomo allowed this actually. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LabattBlue 561 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 You can’t see the games in person and you can’t see them with the MLB season pass. Only in WNY would we get so excited over something so meaningless. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ogelthorpe 56 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Get ready for Buffalo to become a hotspot. You know these spoiled, pampered, entitled, babies wont follow quarantine rules. Adolph Cuomo strikes again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pimlach 2,084 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Buffalo gets a bit of a financial boost. The ball park gets a few upgrades courtesy of the Jays. There are some jobs and positive economic impact. The down side is teams coming here with possible Covid Exposure - same risk as the NFL Teams. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Amerk 1,051 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 So, do I understand this correctly? The entire Jays team can go play games in Florida, then fly to Buffalo and play games there without a 14-day quarantine? But if I fly there today and come back tomorrow, I’d have to quarantine?

thewookie1 447 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Supposedly the Blue Jays are in discussions with the Sabres about using their equipment and such at the arena. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
