Really?? The businesses on Chippewa, Delaware, Pearl St., Franklin, The Casino, Seneca, S. Park, etc are all getting torn down?? Sounds like it's going to hold more than 65,000 people. BTW, how many people does the First Niagara Center hold? Ever been downtown after a game there? A concert?? All those bars and restaurants are walk-able, in a cityscape setting. Where do you walk to after a Bills game in OP? I remember when Jr Hockey played in Buffalo. The streets were like mardi gras. And that was in winter. Every venue was packed each night of the tournament. Don't even think that events at a downtown stadium aren't worth the increase in revenue on those nights. Sorry if the Big Tree loses money. Sorry if the residents on California lose money on the cash cow they get letting people park in their yards.The place has been riding the Bills coattails for long enough.

Do you even get how business works?? The idea is for people to visit these establishments on game nights and then want to come back on off nights. How does Big Tree do on the rest of the week?? Or after the season ends?

What's your real issue, NG? You live in OP, afraid of downtown Buffalo or both?
