Jack, it can be a bit deceiving at this point in the progress. What you’re seeing is the metal DECKING not the ROOFING. So it’s not yet weatherproof. There are still gaps between each deck section and thousands of holes in the decking itself. Not to mention that the V shaped design funnels water to a yet to be installed gutter and downspout system.

Sounds right. The closer your seats get to the leading edge of the roof the more chance that wind blown rain will get to you. Remember, that roof is MANY stories above your seat and unless it’s completely calm out (which it rarely is when a weather front is moving through) you could get wet. Your best bet is to sit on the west side of the upper deck as most fronts come from the lake.

I’m not advocating for it. I’m arguing against the leagues solution. The penalty should be levied against the PLAYER, not against the TEAM.

Relax Einstein. It’s a message board about a football team. It’s not the Kennedy assassination files. 😉 In the larger scheme of things does it really matter what the exact percentage is? While I’ve not sat through the seat selection presentation I’m pretty sure the Bills office is able to tell you whether the particular seat you’re considering is under the roof. No? And do you really care how many other seats are besides the one you’re sitting in? I apologize if I sound frustrated but I really don’t see how this is so important to anyone.

A few, for sure, but less than you think. It’s quite common to install glazing pretty early on. It’s necessary to control the temperature and humidity inside the enclosed spaces so that more climate-sensitive materials can begin installation.

Wait, you don’t think the architects know EXACTLY how many seats are under the roof? They most definitely do. And I’m pretty darn certain that’s where the Bills got the figure.

Commitment!

Yes I’m sure the architects are part of some larger marketing conspiracy.

There’s clearly no room for it anywhere! Seems to me that penalizing the team is the wrong solution. I’d suggest a four game suspension without pay…or worse.

And so not letting them make some ridiculously juvenile gang sign does what exactly? Sounds to me like they need to change the end zone sign to “no room for gang affiliations”.

Is the implication that there are some NFL players who are active members of a street gang? Really?

How many times are we going to go over this? You cannot gauge the depth of the overhang from these photos. The stadium cross section drawings have been presented numerous times. The overhang extends out over the entirety of the upper deck. Period! (And because the upper deck has a larger circumference than the lower deck each row there has many more seats than the corresponding row in the lower deck.) Finally, Tottenham has an additional cantilevered extension of translucent material beyond the metal deck roof that covers the entirety of the seating bowl while still allowing diffused natural light to get to the natural grass field.

I have to agree. That price doesn’t seem unreasonable when spread out over the many years of the PSL. Heck, that’s equivalent to only FIVE years of Sunday Ticket. 😂

The street level view shows just how tall the new stadium is compared to the current stadium whose lower bowl is sunk down below street level.

Ralph is cheap!
