Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 693840">It's about 400 miles by road and 300 miles by air from Buffalo to NYC metro.  Buffalo is culturally a blue collar town. Given the geographical and cultural gulf, Buffalo has a lot more in common with Cleveland, Detroit or even Green Bay. While the people of Buffalo care about what comes out of Albany (that's the state capital by the way), the goings and doings in NYC are off the radar, which goes to my earlier point about geographical awareness.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />  Your point regarding Milwaukee is well taken.  When I said the accommodations issue could be worked around, that's what I envisioned...bussing up on game day.  It's clear bringing a SB to Green Bay would need to be a state effort more than a municipal one.  Conveniently and obviously, Milwaukee and Green Bay are in the same state which was not the case with the Meadowlands game.  Those guys back bite each other using bridge closings.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />Yes, you do need to measure the value of municipal advertising.  As for, "The ONLY [direct] benefit is to the local businesses", that is hardly an insignificant consideration.  However, just think...you could rent out bedrooms in your house on Airbnb for a few hundreds per night!  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />It's interesting to consider from the standpoint of a thought experiment.  Clearly it would be many years before the recent capital investments are recovered before it could begin to be contemplated.  This thread is a midweek entertainment.</blockquote>
