I thought he just took the decals off?

That’s great to hear!

True. I guess in my experience pool tables are mostly for decoration haha.

That pool table would look amazing with a Bills helmet sticker in the middle.

Some people call that a marketing gimmick. I have a hard time calling it a gimmick since it does help charity. But I can also see what they’re saying - he uses it as a selling point to sell his shirts and it’s possible his company is no where near what it is now if not for the donation marketing. I’m not sure. It seems kinda split on Twitter, but more positive than negative. I’ve seen people question his reason behind the good things he does (ulterior motive kind of thing) and i’ve seen people be upset at him seeing himself as the father of BillsMafia. But i’ve also seen just as much (and more) defend him. I have nothing against him. In fact, my Twitter account that gives away free Bills tickets was inspired by his donations. I mention him in the Twitter bio. .

I’m curious what the average non-Twitter opinion of Del Reid is.

Trading?

That’s actually hilarious.

Ok. Very deceiving perspective then. Are the differences in the 200 and 300 levels perspective too?

He grew up a Bills fan - he was Bills Mafia too - so i’m not surprised.

I also find it interesting that it’s not symmetrical. The left side of the 100 level has a gradual slope, while the right side has a fairly steep slope. The 200 level on the left is shaped a bit differently and the 300 level on the left has a wall behind it, while the right side doesn’t.

The more I look at the photos, the more I realize that I like the inside more than the outside. As I kept staring at the outside, I don’t get that special pre-game feeling. I always loved tailgating while being able to look at the stadium, see the upper deck as people fill in (from the parking lot), hear all the sounds, and almost be part of the inside action even when still outside. This feels very closed and dark (don’t love the brick facade either). I do like the inside though.

The mini helmet shadow box is great! Donyou leave the helmet out or do you have it in a display case? Mine just sits out but I bet it would look great all lit up.

I really like that!

Thank you.

If you’re serious, i’d really like to see it.

Thank you. And you're right. The projector puts out so much heat that when it's on, the fans you see mounted on the side of the box have to turn on and pull the heat out or the projector will overheat and turn off. The warming probe and heating cable is for when the projector is off (I never bring it inside as it's 100+ pounds with all the equipment). Here is a video of part of the show. It’ll be better this year, since I’ll be putting reflective material on the house that shows the colors much better. You can see in the video how the colors get washed out when it’s projected on the windows. That won’t happen this year, so the show should be much better and more vivid. This video was actually taken before I worked out some of the issues.

That's a good guess but its actually a make-shift temperature probe for a warming cable. When the copper reaches 38 degrees, the sensor triggers the warming cable looped on the lid of the box to turn on. When the copper reaches 50 degrees, it turns back off.

With a gigantic projector of course! The smaller/regular ones don't have the lumens to accomplish the job. This is a large venue projector. Christie DHD775-E with a short throw lens. I created the box and assembled all the wiring. The box, insulation, fans, and warming cables are important - its a delicate act between keeping the enclosure warm enough so that nothing freezes, but not too warm so that anything starts to malfunction. In general, electronics typically like cold more than warmth. You can watch games on the house too. Here is when we bashed the Saints into the dirt last year (after Knox scored):

Love it!

Thought this could be a fun thread to show off the Bills stuff you've collected over the years and other cool Bills stuff you do. I'll start. Random memorabilia including Flutie Flakes, a game-worn John Brown jersey, and a signed Jim Kelly helmet. Not pictured: Signed Josh Allen jersey. And these are my holiday decorations (sometimes people stop by and take photos in front of the giant Go Bills sign). If you have seen the sign, feel free to post your pic from it! I'd realllyyyy like to add a giant lombardi trophy next to it. There are other Bills fans on my street and I love seeing their decorations too. Person for scale: Your turn. I look forward to seeing your collection! Go Bills.

Great thought. A lot of "covered" seats are likely suites/indoor areas/areas that have overhangs that are not the structural top overhang. I thought it was pretty cool, personally. Reminds me a lot of the Rams stadium, which I love and is considered the best stadium in the NFL.

I think you'll grow to love it as Allen adds a few Championship banners to the rafters. The Titans stadium does look pretty sweet. It's like a colder-area version of the Rams stadium. I would have loved to have that in Buffalo but its also half a billion more. Pegula did tell us that we need an economical stadium.

I wish Allen was riding one of the Buffalo's.
