All, is this a feasible idea? It seems like it would fit into what the Pegula group is building and keep bringing people downtown. Any thoughts? I hope it happens, I'd buy seasons day 1.
I'd love love love this. But wouldn't want our "group" to take on more than they could handle. One step at a time. Lets see how the new center does in it's first few years, see if it proves to be the asset and commodity it can be. And then reassess.
They wouldn't play there anyways would they?
To answer your last question first: The Frozen Four and WJC won't return here. Not for a LONG time.
MW: That said, the Q doesn't have any U.S. based teams. The OHL only has 3. The Dub has 5, all grouped into their own division.
Here's the obvious question: IF the OHL wanted to bring a team into Buffalo, which OHL team would be in the highest danger of being moved?

I think a better location would be in Amherst/Tonawanda area that then could be used by Canisuis, Niagara, and UB for hockey games, smaler concerts, and other events with capacity of around 5,000-8,000.
