Message: [QUOTE="samspann1, post: 4330744, member: 1568"] it'd be interesting, but I just don't see it happening. Large-scale projects in Amherst take years (think the UBMD project near the Audubon Golf Course & Westwood CC) to obtain Town Board Approval, and I think causing massive disruption to the area's largest employer (SUNY) would be a massive ding against this stadium site proposal. Also, the reason that the Metro Rail was not initially expanded to UB North was because Town of Amherst residents opposed it. JMO, but it would be foolish to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to extend the line to Amherst now, to cater to a facility that's maybe used 12-15 times a year (including concerts). That said, I too would be able to ride my bike from my house to this site, so that's a plus in my book. [/QUOTE]
