I have been there twice, but not since about 1990. I drove by there on my way from Akron to Columbus about a year ago. It looks much different, probably bigger.

There are three combat veterans in my family and I consider that a personal slap in the face when those individuals did that my family members fought and died for their right to do it and they’re going to do it but I think it’s disgusting
I'm a Vietnam Veteran and I fully support what Colin Kaepernick is doing. Don't feel slapped in the face at all.
WOW
WOW! I wasn’t aware of that.Same here ... I haven't seen the growth in person, but they are going all out in expanding the complex.

Week 3 is coming up and it's already been quite a season for the NFL:
- The Colts, minus Andrew Luck, squeaked out a win in week 2. Can they do it again vs Atlanta? QB Brissett doesn't scare anybody, so the Colts are focused on rushing yards (ranked #2 so far).
- Where will Antonio Brown land next? He drove Pittsburgh batty, blew off an easy $5M from Oakland by not showing up for only one more day before he forced a cut, then the Patriots had all the joy of being embarrassed by a slew of lawsuits against him. Such a great talent; such a terrible waste.
- QB Mahomes of KC isn't missing a beat in picking up where he left off last year. Watching him throw four - FOUR! - TDs in a single quarter vs the Raiders in week 2 should be terrifying to every opponent they have scheduled this year, and every team who might meet them in the playoffs. I've been watching football for over 50 years and I tape every game of his that comes up on national TV. This kid makes fireworks happen on the field!
- Injuries every week knock out teams that were projected to be playoff-bond. Steelers QB Roethlisberger is out for the season. Saints QB Brees is out for at least 6-8 weeks, although the team itself continues to be hexed by an evil fairy godmother when it comes to NFL officiating. Somebody needs to make some kind of NOLA burnt offering to the gods. Maybe two dozen beignets on a sacrificial altar would help?
- Steelers lost a heartbreaker to Seattle in week 2 - can they recover vs the Niners in week 3? Rookie QB Mason Rudolph did very well in Roethlisberger's absence, and Niner QB Garoppolo is finally showing some rookie weaknesses as he struggles to put Mike Shanahan's complex playbook into real-life field action. He'll be a good QB someday, but the Niners just don't have a complete team yet.
- Cleveland fans finally can take the paper bags off their heads, with a much-improved Browns team. Not that beating the Jets was hard for week 2, but QB Baker Mayfield and WR Odell Beckham Jr may be a match made in Heaven for fans who had to suffer through a 1-31 record in 2016-17.
- Nope, back come the paper bags - week 3 opponent is the LA Rams. They might stomp all over Cleveland's fragile happiness. But hey, nothing lasts forever.
- Bears play the Redskins in week 3. Should be an interesting game! Bears need to win this one. The only way the Packers will lose to the Broncos is if QB Rodgers gets hurt. The Broncs are a mess, and General Mgr John Elway is proving one can be a really great player but a very bad GM.
- Yeah, NE won. Again. And the Patriots will win this week 3, as well. What do you expect with a schedule rated the easiest 2019 schedule out of 32 teams? Sheesh.
Play ball!

Really not looking forward to another Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Patriots .... I've enjoyed them in the past, but enough is enough.
It is kind of like the Yankees back in the day. You could usually count on them being in the Series.

And if one was a Yankee fan in days past (or this year for an instance) and a Patriots fan today - -life is golden. Many teams have had eras of great success the Packers come to mind, along with the Cowboys.
It's tougher now-a-days, to string good seasons together as there are so many teams. back in the old 8 team league it was easier to have a "dynasty", at least for a few years.

Salaries, bonuses are out of hand. Owners are responsible. If they would get together put a ceiling on REASONABLE salaries (cut salaries to allow for this), Dads could afford again to take their sons to games.

You forgot the Steel Curtain...
... Lambert, Ham, Blount, "Mean Joe" and the rest. They ruled the 70's.

So the Bills squeaked one out at home, making them 3-0.
But next week Brady & Company come to town. Please, nobody call me next Sunday between 1-4 PM. TIA!

I live in the Cleveland area and we have the Browns for a team. I have not watched football because I really haven't understood the game but I figure if I watch I may discover what they are doing and why...
I follow the Kansas City Chiefs and have we got an awesome offensive weapon! Our quarterback is Patrick Mahomes, age 24, and he is stunning. He is setting records that are incredible making every game great fun to watch. We are hoping to go all the way to the Super Bowl this year and come back with the trophy and rings.

Yes, he is amazing and fun to watch. I haven't had any of their games available to see this year yet.

A Rochester,NY couple who first met at Ralph Wilson stadium now known as New Era field,won a local contest where they would like to get married. They chose half time during today's BIlls/Pats game
In front of 70,000 plus half drunk fans the ceremony will take place
A hope for Bills fans{I'm not one of them} the game isn't a rout by then
This is one sure way of getting your '15 min of fame'

Heh, I didn't know about the wedding. I won't see it though, as half-time is when I do other things away from the TV. Superbowl halftimes are the worst.
My prediction: Today's game will start off well, but The Brady Machine will have it pretty well wrapped-up by halftime.
