Buffalo, NY (WBEN) If you’ve ever wanted a piece of the Ralph, your chance is coming. Erie County will be part of a sale of stadium memorabilia that could net the county a financial touchdown.
Erie County Public Works Commissioner Bill Geary says it’s great to see an opportunity for Bills Mafia to buy some memorabilia. “Everyone’s going to be able to, if they want, purchase something from the seats, parts of the goal post, the turf, some of the chairs and tables, just about any of the signage that’s in there, the section number, stuff like that, will be available,” says Geary.
Geary says the price range hasn’t been determined yet, and that won’t happen until next week when the county meets with the company hired for the project. “We were just able to get the resolution from the legislature to allow the Bills to enter in the contract and start marketing this stuff with us,” says Geary. He says the company that was selected has a proven track record. “For example, they had previously done the Yankee Stadium. So, people look back and see what a seat or a sign in Yankee Stadium was, that’s probably going to be comparable. I will say, though there’s, there’s a lot of work that goes into this, and the company is taking on all the risks the county doesn’t have any risk, we’re just going to share 50% of the revenues, which we believe the county with this company’s past history, should be north of seven figures,” says Geary…
