The Super Bowl isn't just about the venue. la quinta inn crossville tn It's even moreso about hotel

The Bills in Niagara Falls? Why not. Still close enough la quinta inn crossville tn for the Southtowners and even closer to the Toronto market and those in the Northtowns of WNY. Bottom line is what ever keeps the team in WNY I fully support. RWS is an old stadium and you can only do so much to keep it viable before your throwing money away, it wasn't fares on southwest airlines built to last forever.
That s the question la quinta fares on southwest airlines inn crossville tn on a lot of people s minds these days with stalled talks on a new stadium lease deal with Erie County and New York State, an ailing 93-year-old owner who says the team will be sold after he departs, and no commitment from the franchise, with or without owner Ralph Wilson, to stay here.
With that cloud of uncertainty hanging over a team that hasn t had a winning record since 2004, the Bills are still worth an estimated $805 million in 2012, according to Forbes magazine, up 2 percent over last year and still rank as the 29th most valuable NFL club.
So what s next for the Bills, which Forbes calls arguably la quinta inn crossville tn the most troubled franchise in the NFL which has had difficulty selling out Ralph Wilson Stadium (three recent blackouts) despite having the second-lowest ticket price ($59) last year? But don t feel too bad for this franchise. The Bills are subsidized $7 million a year by county and state taxpayers for stadium operating and capital improvement costs. And the team is expected to renew and improve a lucrative fares on southwest airlines deal with Rogers Communications to play regular season games in Toronto, la quinta inn crossville tn an agreement that brought in $78 million over the last five years and is due to expire at the end of this year.
But the lease deal between the Bills and Erie County expires next July and the team, as part of its lease talks with Erie County fares on southwest airlines and the state, wants upwards of $200 million in stadium renovations to stay viable. la quinta inn crossville tn But the state, which would bear the brunt of those costs, wants a commitment from the Bills to stay in the area before committing to a new deal. So what s next, beyond the one-year extension that is in the works that is likely to keep the team here through at least next season?
Here s where things get very interesting, and Niagara Falls may be emerging as a potential home for the Bills, la quinta inn crossville tn according to several fares on southwest airlines sources who tell us Howard la quinta inn crossville tn Milstein, the Manhattan fares on southwest airlines real estate fares on southwest airlines developer with close ties to Gov. Cuomo, may be the big player fares on southwest airlines who could put the deal together.
Let s take a look at what we do know for sure. The state has been stalling on moving forward on a new lease agreement, with the Cuomo Administration publicly saying it wants a commitment from the Bills before signing any new deal. Behind the scenes, sources fares on southwest airlines in the building trades tell the Niagara Falls Reporter that even $250 million in renovations to 39-year-old Ralph Wilson Stadium would be, according to one of our sources, like putting a Band-Aid on an elephant. Infrastructure cracks and leaking la quinta inn crossville tn boxes in the stadium built to last 30 years when it opened in 1973 would require much more to fix over the long term which under no circumstances is presently guaranteed.
Would the governor want to put a $200-million plus Band-Aid on a deteriorating stadium in Orchard Park, especially given no assurances the Bills would even stay there? So whatever happens with the Bills ownership, a new stadium is almost a given.
Some developers and potential suitors have been pushing the Buffalo waterfront as a stadium site, but environmental issues and parking problems are potential roadblocks to that scenario. So now what? Well, it just so happens that Milstein, a generous campaign donor to Cuomo who the governor tapped to head the Thruway Authority, owns more than 140 acres of prime land adjacent to the Falls and the state park, could be the go-to player to develop a new home for the Bills, either in an ownership fares on southwest airlines agreement with former la quinta inn crossville tn Bills players including Jim Kelly, or by selling his property to a new owner or to the state under eminent domain, as was done with the Indian casino property.
Milstein s Niagara Falls property is under the control of his private fares on southwest airlines company, Niagara Falls Redevelopment, and the executive vice president fares on southwest airlines of NFR is none other than Roger Trevino, the deal maker who brought Nik Wallenda fares on southwest airlines to Niagara fares on southwest airlines Falls and who also, in a previous life, used to be Jim Kelly s agent.
Trevino would not comment on Milstein s potential involvement fares on southwest airlines in bringing the Bills to Niagara Falls, saying only that it is well known that NFR has been openly courting la quinta inn crossville tn entertainment groups to develop fares on southwest airlines some type of arena project in Niagara la quinta inn crossville tn Falls, including a group from Florida about possibly developing a sports museum. la quinta inn crossville tn The NFR property is estimated to be worth between $125 and $150 million and Trevino says several serious proposals have made to the city about development opportunities for the property over the last several months.
Mayor Paul Dyster also declined to comment on the possibility of the Bills coming to Niagara fares on southwest airlines Falls or what he may know of such a possibility, but he said he hopes things work out and the Bills stay in the area and that Niagara Falls would help in any way it could. If our sources are correct about a possible Milstein ownership role with Kelly after Wilson's passing and the team is put on the market, it is highly unlikely any of the parties will say very much at this time with so much uncertainty still out there: la quinta inn crossville tn no lease, a declining stadium, no commitment from the team about staying here and questions about Wilson's health. Trevino, who would seem to be a link between Milstein and Kelly, refused to comment la quinta inn crossville tn on any of the possibilities when interviewed by the Reporter on Saturday, the marketing guru shuffling back in his seat when the subject was brought up.
FYI. Milstein was the owner of the New York Islanders back in the mid 90's. Islander fans hated this guy. He was in it for the real estate only. He wanted to develop the land around the Coliseaum. He put no money into the team. I realize comparing the NFL and NHL is like comparing apples and oranges but Milstein fares on southwest airlines showed no interest in the team. Buyer beware Bills fans.
Great article I agree 100% the best care scenario for Western New York and the Bills is to put them in Niagara Falls. A retractable roof would be a necessity with the prospect of having a super bowl. Could you imagine the boost to the economy from having a super bowl in Buffalos back yard?

Retractable roof is the only way to go. Multi use facility: Superbowl, la quinta fares on southwest airlines inn crossville tn RV Car shows, Conventions, Monster truck, fares on southwest airlines Motor cross, Expositions, NCAA Tournaments, Home and garden shows, wrestlemania and the list goes on.

The Super Bowl isn't just about the venue. It's even moreso about hotel rooms, etc. Buffalo-Niagara doesn't have the hotel space to host a super bowl in February it might not be easy for visistors to get around that big of an area even if there were enough hotel rooms. You need centralized access fares on southwest airlines to go along with the hotel access..
Retractable roof or not... The American falls is receding 3-4 inches every ten years. I am not going to be comfortable attending a game with the stadium hanging over the edge of the gorge in 500 years. Stupid investment.
Actually it all makes sense. We should easily be able to squeeze a couple hundred million out of the Canadian side for boosting la quinta inn crossville tn their economy as well... Mints sounds like a fun post game celebration venue. Wagon, they have a downstairs for you. Perfect!!
Love the idea. Location wise it's a home run. Close to all secondary markets (Rochester, Ontario, Toronto) and a wonder fares on southwest airlines of the world right next door. I have concerns about traffic and infrastructure but every stadium will have traffic issues.
But I don't care how nice of a stadium it is, a Super Bowl will NEVER be hosted in Buffalo, unfortunately. Why would the NFL put it there when they can make more money in another fares on southwest airlines market. It sucks but it's true.

Yes, I know that but WNY hosting a Superbowl has a much better chance with a new stadium next to Niagara Falls than it does in orchard Park or downtown la quinta fares on southwest airlines inn crossville tn Buffalo. In AZ they built hotels just for the superbowl la quinta inn crossville tn so it can and has been done.
If Detroit and Indianapolis got Super Bowls, I would think Buffalo could get one with a new retractable roof stadium fares on southwest airlines in Niagara maybe like 5 years after the stadium is up and running to give the city enough time to build around the stadium and have the necessities nearby to host a SUper Bowl.
