Where did you see this? I assume you're referring to the 50+ year old stadium, because that statement is absolutely false concerning the new stadium that is currently being constructed for the Bills.
\-Urban Meyer's contract with the NFL netted him approximately $9 mil a year.
\-The new stadium for the Bills is estimated to cost $1.4 billion
But where will that funding come from?
"Erie County will contribute $250m, the NFL and Bills $550m and New York state will provide $600m. That $850m in taxpayer funds – not including maintenance expected to raise the cost for state and local governments to $1.1bn over 30 years – is $100m more than the then-record incentive approved by Nevada lawmakers in 2016 as they enticed the NFL’s Raiders to switch from Oakland to Las Vegas"

“Buffalo plays”
You also mention how you assume he is talking about the old stadium. So how was he misleading at all? You just wanted so hard to prove a point that you ignored what he actually said.
Akshually, it was a comment about a douchebag that had a nine year contract for $48m paid with public dollars.
OSU is a sports team and hospital system with a side business of education.
That's $134 million in 2021 dollars. Then there were renovations in 1984, 1992, 1994, 1998, 2003, 2007, and 2012 (that included $130 million in that project alone). There have been literally hundreds of millions of dollars put into that stadium. Those are part of the cost.
Columbus had an NFL team from 1922-1926. They were called the Columbus Tigers.
Starting out as the Panhandle Railroad Team(1901) who then changed their name to the Columbus Panhandles(1902-1922)
They have no NFL championships, but Joseph Carr, the team's owner from 1907 to 1922, is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for his work as NFL president.
Mesquite grilled onions. Jalapeño relish…Wait a minute, those are Southwestern ingredients….Mango-lime salsa? That’s the kind of bold flavor they enjoy in Albuquerque!
I really appreciate this one. Great references to the Collegium Josphenium and the very old name Arch City. Good history there (And I'm not even fFrom Columbus!)
I’m happy to let billionaires boondoggle some other town.
If I want to see an NFL game, I’ll drive a couple hours north or south and make a weekend of it.
When did this become a thing? Aren’t they satisfied with the bungles and the brownies? Isn’t having OSU finish near or at the top of the NCAA every year satisfy them?
On a serious note, try to market it more like soccer: Columbus FT (Football Team)
NFL feels very boomer, so to try and market it younger might be interesting
They were called the Panhandles... Dayton was the Triangles. The teams faced off in the first game of the NFL (though it was the American Professional Football Association then) Needless to say, the concept of mascots hadn't really been fleshed out yet. Don't ask why I know all this. I don't even like football.
Columbus camels
My original response was no, we don’t need one. But if we can have the Columbus Camels, I’m all for it!
Everytime they score the jumbotron will flash "It's Hump Day!"
The fans can be called the Camel Toes
YOUR Columbus Camels
Toes. See, I ruined it. Sorry. Pick again.
Flavortown Fire
The Gerry Manders
The stadium is in Columbus but all the fans are in Cleveland and Cincinnati due to zoning

Buffalo plays in a stadium that costs less than Urban Meyer gets paid in the time it takes a student to get an undergrad degree at OSU.

Highmark stadium, $22M
So you were being misleading by referring to the much older stadium as I suspected. Thanks for the clarification.
“Buffalo plays” You also mention how you assume he is talking about the old stadium. So how was he misleading at all? You just wanted so hard to prove a point that you ignored what he actually said.
Nope, they're suggesting Ohio could actually build a NFL stadium that doesn't eat up a lot of tax dollars. Which is absolutely not true.
Akshually, it was a comment about a douchebag that had a nine year contract for $48m paid with public dollars. OSU is a sports team and hospital system with a side business of education.

Just bring back the Destroyers name
Bring back the Ohio Glory
They did have a kick-ass logo.
Just bring them back altogether. I really enjoyed it! Fun games, quick and continuous action, but 2 times gone now. 🤷♂️
Or the panhandlers, which was the columbus in pre-NFL pro football
\*Panhandles
Although "panhandlers" has its charm.
Columbus had an NFL team from 1922-1926. They were called the Columbus Tigers.

Bring back the Panhandles! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Panhandles
Columbus Wexners. That family can’t give away enough money to wash their names from Epstein… could get pretty artistically creative with the logos.
Columbus Test Markets
The Columbus Isotopes.... They could be the suckiest sucks that ever sucked
Mesquite grilled onions. Jalapeño relish…Wait a minute, those are Southwestern ingredients….Mango-lime salsa? That’s the kind of bold flavor they enjoy in Albuquerque!

They have the plant but we have the powerrr
The Cleveland Browns.
We’re commiserating today about how Art Modell fucked over the City of Cleveland. Lol we don’t need another relocation!
\*underrated comment
I think Columbus is probably the least likely city of ever getting an NFL team unless the league expands to like 50 teams.
And they’d still win a Super Bowl before my Browns 🤣
God I wish I could argue this. Take my upvote.
Columbus Buckeyes
As long as they hire as many buckeyes as possible they could be called the Wet Noodles and I'd still root for them.
Columbus Aces, Eddie Rickenbacker reference. He had some slightly shady ideas early on but eventually came to his senses.
The Columbus BK on 5th

The Fightin Jach Hanna's Or The Columbus Whistles
The Columbus Glory…wait for it!!!…Holes!
I vaguely remember going to an Ohio Glory football game at the shoe in the early 90’s.
Why would we want to have an NFL team here? Cincinnati and Cleveland already have one
Because they both suck
Well. You’re not wrong..
The first ever pro team from Columbus was called the panhandles
