I am a Republican, however, if Cuomo some how makes it so the Bills stay in Buffalo I will vote for him in a heart beat

I can't believe this isn't getting more play here
If I understand the reality of RWS, it’s going to take $80 million to renovate. This is a huge step towards that.
This story should be talked about way more than the 10th pick or if doing drugs is something to be concerned about in a draft prospect.
Re-starting the official Buffalo "Draft a quarterback in the First Round in 2012" campaign.
Just got around to reading it now.
Honestly I think this should be on the front page. A politician that wants to help a NY team that isn’t in NYC? This guy must really be gunning for re-election!

You two should probably rec it if you want it noticed.
Official ledge-talker-offer of the Buffalo Bills.
Citi Field loves the mets so much it smothers them. -the caveman
Better idea...........
Pour $200 million into Rich Stadium (I grew up on it) and dress up the old girl. I love the stadium.
Make Ralph pay for $180 million of it. He has gotten plenty of return off of his investment.
Its beautiful and a wonderful place to see a game.
Let’s add external concourses to get up to the different levels faster, add more damn bathrooms, more flatscreens in the tunnels, a Bills Hall of Fame Museum, attach a few large hotels, etc.
Let’s do it right.
Unlike the last time when Flutie saved the Bills stadium selling the “new” corporate seats.
Oh, and ………. WIN!

Build a new stadium downtown.
It would cost about $600 million. It makes more sense to me instead of investing $100 million in the a suburban rural area. Invest money into the growing city of Buffalo. sign a 30 year lease. the state makes $600 million gross with sales tax. The NFL/ Bills can put in a $100 million or so, and sell the naming rights for about $100 million for 20 years. No matter how unlikely this is the best case scenario to me.
Also an article posted in the daily Bills articles post said that this money is only $3 million from the previous lease I believe. and so there is in fact no money set aside for this. I am not surprised by this and I don’t think many people will be because we have NYC running the entire state, and getting the money. But Cuomo did say he promised $1 billion for Buffalo, to help create jobs etc., maybe that will go into this.
You are now Watching The Throne.
