They will be named and associated with a major league ball park for 25 dates plus playoffs, all for the price of a minor league ball park. There will be two hotels filled with players and staff. There will be restaurants catering clubhouses. The ballpark will be upgraded on the Jays dime, I'm really having trouble seeing the downside. Maybe I am underestimating the money generated locally. But I still think that none of the teams will stay in their bubbles completely and that a COVID-19 spike is a certitude. Quote

The rapid development of a vaccine would eliminate all of these long term concerns - Of course that’s easier said than done. What I tell my kids that are now in theIr “raising families years” is that it may take sacrifice like they have not seen before, dropping to one income, and supplementing one income with part time work. Whatever happens investing in the children is investing in our future. I am adjusting my retirement plan accordingly and looking at estate planning in a new ways. We are lucky so all we have to give up sleep. My wife and I have arranged our shifts pre-covid at the Hospitals we work at so that someone is always home. That being said... oof. Quote
Palm Trees And Taxes Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 Well let's see if the Jays even make it to Buffalo considering what is happening today Quote
Ogelthorpe Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 Hopefully some Buffalo gvt official steps up and stops the Jays from coming here. 2 Quote

Case are trending up in lots of places and we're going to start flying dozens of people around, presumably not respecting quarantine requirements. It's a damn game.

LawnWranglers Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 I would venture that several members of this board currently live out of 716. That shouldn’t preclude commentary on the benefits of MLB games in Buffalo. Without question, the value appears to be diminishing. Indeed, the issue may be moot within a week. Nevertheless, current state of residence shouldn’t be a disqualifier to engaging in discussion concerning the merits. And I say that as a Boston resident who quivers at the thought of a mass influx of college students within the month. Quote

I moved away from that cesspool but I'm still disqualified from at least half of all discussion. 1 Quote

kas23 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Posted July 27, 2020 I live within 45 minutes of 2 MLB team stadiums. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t want them functioning. Yet, I’ve had some arguments (with relatives) on the merits of having a MLB team play in downtown Buffalo. I get the Buffalo mentality (lived there most of my life), but the Jays playing in Buffalo just isn’t worth it. These disagreements mostly have to do with politics. Nowadays, if someone says “up”, you must counter with “down”. Quote
