I think you're confused about this paying for stadium issue. You have to think about them as community assets, like roads. The govenerment contribution to our stadiums and arenas is much lower then most other cities. Rochester's card board box minor league stadiums are cheap and easy to throw up, once the ten to twenty years of legal hassles get worked out.

Hockey players? Crapchester? I got another dog this weekend. Its a little old chihuahua. I called him Seargent Pepper. He loves me. At least I can buy him outfits.

Cushca:
I should fucking think so too.

Right away he needs a denim ensemble. He gets cold very easily.

Seargent Pepper is a great name. Yes. Keep him dressed up constantly. It's only right. I call him "Airhorn Williams".

Well, his name was Sebastian I guess, I don't know. He belonged to some family for 10 years and then they decided they didn't want him anymore and dumped him at the shelter. He looked so sad I brought him home because Tom said he didn't mind really. They taught him how to beg becasue my friend Hank was eating a hamburger and Sgt. Pepper got on his hind legs and put his paws together like he was praying. It was strange to look at. I don't know what to feed him, him seems to like cat food.

He was sleeping with me last night and then I got scared tom would roll over on him and kill him so I put him on my orange chair.

Assembly passes measure funding stadium repairs:
Football
Bill A11094. Sponsor: Tokasz
Legislative leaders approved a measure designed to keep the last remaining professional football team in New York state. The measure, which passed both houses of the Legislature, authorizes a $95 million state expenditure to repair and renovate Rich Stadium. The bill was sent to the governor.

the sickening sound of snapping chihuahua bones.

That's what I mean. 95 million dollars. You could rebuild every single sports facility in Rochester and still have about $85 million left over. Buffalo's sports scene is on a different scale then Rochesters and you can't compare them. Lots of other communities built $240 million dollar stadiums with govenerment money. The state kept the Bills which make them tons of money in sales and payroll taxes. It was a bargain.

Rome's listeners are amazed that Buffalo bars are open until 4:00am. That's another thing we have going for us over Rochester.
(Mon Jul 30, 2001 - 1:26:16 pm)
Just embarrasing:
The state also agreed to forgive a $6.5 million loan it made in 1995 for construction of a Bills' practice facility.
But Buffalo, in addition to being a small market without a single Fortune 500 company, is suffering from a poor local economy.
(Mon Jul 30, 2001 - 1:27:31 pm)
Chewing Wax:
We have at least three Fortune 500 companies, so that article is wrong. It's all sour grapes and who can blame you?

I've never been inside a sports stadium. Isn't that sad? Am I the one with the problem or is it everyone else?
(Mon Jul 30, 2001 - 1:31:13 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Everyone else.

We are stricken with an incurable malady, stay away.

I guess the bottom line is Buffalo has the NFL and NHL and Rochester doesn't. And The Mother of all Tour Stops.

and one of the worst minor league baseball teams to come down the pike is nearly a century. But that's not their fault.

Chewing Wax:
Rochester has the Bills training camp though. They got that going for them.
(Mon Jul 30, 2001 - 1:34:41 pm)
Decoy:
That pointless because it changes from year to year, And you'll find 3 or 4 cahmpionships in the last ten years.

I'm just saying is all.

WHAAAAA!!!!!!! I hate sports! Fridays emergency was much more fun than this arena talk. Maybe Queenie will check in and tell us how her mistake worked out. Obviously she hasn't read the archives and doesn't realize the pandemmonium that went on behind her back.
(Mon Jul 30, 2001 - 1:45:17 pm)
Chewing Wax:
It will die down. Don't worry. it's already petering out. We'll be back talking about Queenie's cocktail shoes in no time.

I can understand baseball and certainly hockey, but really, football is such a stupid sport.

I'm a big old grump today. Maybe I should go uptown and go to BCBG and buy myself an expensive outfit and then have Tom pay me back for it when I get home. Definately. I'll feel better.
