You don't pay a backup 4M per year. 6 minutes ago, That Aud Smell said: Glad to hear they’re bringing back “Rick” Bates — I credit him for helping solidify the o-line in the latter part of the season. Beane played this masterfully, using the Bears to set a reasonable market for Bates, then pulling the rug out from under Chicago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 @nfreeman I’m sure NY has some sort of development authority to issue bonds for a project like this. We won’t know the terms until we see the bond indentures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spndnchz Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 It really depends what type of bonds they’re gonna be issued whether general or obligation or guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was Los Angeles, then maybe the owner shells out $5B from his own pocket because he'll make it all back in a couple of years. Not here though. There is no financial incentive to operate any pro franchise in WNY without a public subsidy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have to go over asking though and wave the inspection too; got very lucky though first one we put an offer in on actually. Hopefully you guys find some similar luck 🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 It's nuts in Ithaca too. Anything you see asking, expect ~100k over for the winning offer. We were looking at land and even that had multiple offers within a day of going on the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have, and it was still worth it to Stan Kroenke to build SoFi Stadium out of his own pocket. Because there a million events other than football happening in L.A.

Marvin Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 I live in Amherst near the Buffalo border. I have the cheapest house in the neighbourhood (least square footage, not brick, no updates since before 2000). Houses here for $100k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are definitely thinking of building. Found a patch of land that's been listed for a long time in the middle of nowhere that happens to be perfect for both of our commutes, might buy that now and sit in an apartment for a while to see if prices will ever go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
