new arenas are usless unless the old arena is horrible and in the middle of nowhere, and now your making a swanky new arena downtown with like condos, convention center, new subway stuff and a vote agreed from tax payers.

its better to just renovate
I hear the Bradley Center is crap. It looks so dark on television. Of course it would help ten fold of they had a better team

that 98 civic may look crap but it starts and runs, its wisconsin for crying out loud, green bay doesn't have a swanky new stadium, brewers got one after years and years.

Stadiums built in the 80s missed the boat. All the technological advances forced changes everywhere and sports is such a cash cow that you have to keep up with the times. Look at the stadiums currently built and in use. Most of them now are no older than 25 years old and the ones that are like Lambeau, Fenway, Wrigley, etc. are either steeped in history or get renovated annually.

:ehh: good point.

i already see the nfl smelling blood in buffalo over a new stadium, even though there is nothing wrong with ralph wilson stadium, its just a easy out because buffalo is dead broke as a city and doesn't have a big population and can't afford to just build a swanky new downtown arena

i've even heard chatter of the warehouse rogers centre (skydome) but rogers bought it for 25 mill its right in the heart of downtown and the city aint spending a dime on a new stadium now or never

and where would they play?

unless cheap ass mlse fronts the bill its not getting done and that stadium would cost nearly a billion

air canada centre was made without not even one dollar of public funds and it cost 265 mill


edit i forgot no corporate owners in the nfl.


Only David Thompson (who owns the winnipeg jets) and thomson reuters has that much money to buy a nfl team for a billion and then pay another billion for its construction without public money.

Lol, they aren't cheap anymore, not under Leiweke. He's spending literally every penny that they have towards sports.

Yeah but how long before the transmission goes bad and the engine gives out. You'd get tired of always fixing that piece of shyt. So why not use the money yout would have used on a new engine as a down payment for a 2014 Accord
