DiNucci is gone already? Not sure what they wanted to see from him but apparently they didn’t see it. Oh well, he’ll be able to tell his grandkids that he started in an NFL game.

An excellent question. Typical row “depth” in an auditorium, stadium, theater, church will be anywhere between 36” and 42”. It is one of the three variables, along with seat width and row “height”, that contribute to the audience’s comfort level.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing! Looks like the precast concrete subcontractor needs to step on it!

He’s right back to that wicked slice! I cannot believe the coaching staff didn’t work that out over the offseason. What are those guys doing?

I’m still depreciating my Flutie Flakes. That investment set me back a bit.

This place cracks me up. Now, mind you, that nobody can predict the future but Bills should be careful when poking fun at the Chiefs organization. Just sayin!

Fire everyone! (Ralph is cheap.)

Josh Allen has thrown a grand total of THREE passes this preseason

So a few hours ago I suggested that the Bills would get no more than a Third for Elam….and based on the Wash/Phil trade it appears I was right.

You think someone is going to give you a second for a late round first that never plays?

I agree. You have to wonder how long this First Rounder is going to flounder in a back up roll before some team decides a change of scenery is all that’s required.

Win one? I think the vast majority of fans would settle for just getting to a Super Bowl right now.

$10,000 for a coffee! That’s crazy talk.

And right there you help to make my point. If corporations are the problem then why do these latest sketches depict what appear to be every day, working, young people with little kids the clientele that the marketing department specifically asked the designers to insert into the renderings? Again, something is disjointed here.

So you’re saying you’re negative that people aren’t more negative?

The Board is negative? It's just a group of people discussing a football team that we all follow. Not sure what the OP would like. Was this advertised as a cheer leading forum? And.....Ralph was cheap! 😉

All true….but my comments still stand. The renderings are disjointed. As a guy who creates images just like these for a living you have to understand that the ‘entourage’ (people, trees, furniture, and cars) are not part of the architect’s design. They’re simply dropped in from a catalog of stock images. My point is that the entourage doesn’t match the interiors…at all! If you replace the scruffy looking Bills fans with stock images of people in dress clothes from a higher end restaurant, I think you’d find it all fits together much better.

My comments are purely about the aesthetic….not the experience.

I know what they’re trying to do but it takes more than Buffalo centric super graphics. It looks more like an environment where my mother would’ve told us….”Boys, keep your hands in your pockets and do NOT touch anything!”

Yes, very nice. But does it look like the interiors of a venue where a bunch of bundled up people just came inside from a snowstorm? No, they don’t. I’m wondering if the designers have ever been to Buffalo.

I’ll put my architect hat on for a second: The aesthetic looks COMPLETELY out of touch with the WNY game day experience. Every space looks really dark, which isn’t a good thing in an area that’s known for cloud cover. The spaces, furnishings and materials, while certainly trendy, appear to be completely inappropriate for the people that they copied and pasted into renderings. Do any of those ‘fans’ look like they are either comfortable or belong there?

And you drew that conclusion from a rendering of a concession stand?

Josh Allen has thrown a grand total of THREE passes this preseason. And that’s all he’s going throw since it appears like he’s not playing on Saturday either. I have no idea how people are evaluating the WRs based on THREE passes from the ONLY guy who’s going to be throwing them the ball in a few weeks.

Second Rounder….try and keep up! Sheeesh

They’re no doubt cutting Andreesen!
