How much is this going to cost taxpayers? How much is BassPro going to cost the taxpayers, both before and after it is built? We have a casino being built totally on private money and going to generate income for the city. Which one would you scrap? Dump BassPro NOW!

I remember going to my first Sabres game in the Aud when we had Tucker, Andreychuk and Foligno and then there was one game that really stood out. It was the March 22, 1989 game and it was the day before my birthday and my dad and I were in the last row and all I remember is the blood. I'll miss that barn.

When I say taxpayers, I mean you rubes. I haven't worked in years.

You'd be amazed what you can "find" these days. Couple that with my neighbors free (for me) wireless service and I've got licence to spout nonsense all day.

For example: we should just give the aud to the Senecas.

or, let's just leave the building there to decay.

or, anyone with an opinion different than mine is an obstructionist.

i could go on all day, and i probably will.

Save the Aud for a future site of the Boondoggle Hall of Fame.
We gotta be famous for that.

I agree that Bass Pro needs to move in. Jowever tearing down the Aud is NOT the answer! The Aud is a historic building and should be left alone!

Bring the Stanley Cup there or the NBA trophy. Just so that building can see what it never one for one last time. Wreck that cursed building.

I gotta ask this....how much $$$ does everyone think that bass pro is realistically going to bring in? I dont forsee people coming from all over the country to shop at one store. The reasons are: 1. the outrageous sales taxes, 2. Thre is nothing to do in buffalom 3. our waterfront is a joke, and 4. Come 6:00 pm everything in downtown buffalo is closed.....
