Delaware North is Huge with a capital H. They’re owned by the Jacobs family in Boston. They are a worldwide firm. 

Legends is owned by Jerruh.

Yes. He’s part owner from what their literature says. Hence I think he was quite agreeable to agree to our new stadium.

Fills the spot...not great. Just food.

That said, I went to a Bills At Jets with my brother about 5 years ago and they have an amazing sausage and peppers roll that is out of this world.

Kickbacks aren't just for unions and politicians.  

 

Well, cash kickbacks are.  Because they're idiots.  Corporate executives play the game much, much better.

Have only been to 1 Bills game in the last 10 or so years, so can't speak to the food at Rich.  But go to 20 or so Sabres games each year and Delaware North's SportsServe is the game day concessionaire there too.  (Don't eat there often, but sometimes we're running real late or get hungry midgame.  So have bought food there many times through the years.)

 

In the 100's, you sometimes will get food actually served hot and if you do, it is decent.  But you don't always get it hot down there, and can't honestly remember the last time anything up in the nosebleeds was actually hot and fresh.  And when that stuff isn't hot and fresh it is disgusting.  Went to the NCAA basketball tourney last year and couldn't get lunch before going to the rink for the 1st game, so got a cheeseburger and fries.  The cheeseburger was surprisingly very good.  The fries were ok but at least were hot.  So, tried the same thing the next day and the burger was barely warm and the fries were room temperature.  Not sure if they were from the night before but they could've been.  Absolutely disgusting.

 

The 300's used to have good fried balogna sandwiches and good chicken tenders.  But it's been years since either have been good up there.

 

There used to be a great burito station where you could choose the meat and all the fixings to get included in the burito down on the 100 level right near the escalators up to the nosebleeds but they turned that into just a canned beer and bagged chips stand about 5 years ago.

 

There's an ice cream stand on the 100's level and also one behind section 319 which has good ice cream, but if you aren't to the 1 in the 300's within 2 minutes of the intermission you WILL miss the beginning of the next period.

 

Can't wait until somebody else can finally bid on the MMArena concessions package.  (Delaware North helped subsidize the rink getting built so they got a stupid long contract to provide the concessions and don't believe that got terminated when Golisano took the Sabres out of bankruptcy.)  SportsServe is THE worst.

having an open air stadium in the middle of no where with no supporting restaurant scene makes it highly unlikely.

Never saw a requirement that the draft be held at the stadium. In fact KC held it at Union Station

I thought they were going to cover the fans

 

pretty ingenious to enclose the stadium in steel mesh, so the wind flows through and hits all of the concourses before it is confused when hitting the field.
