Buffalo_Stampede

It’s just never been something I’ve heard discussed. It’s definitely something I would’ve upgraded with the new stadium, and they are. The stadium will be better, I have always acknowledged that. Major upgrades over what was there. What I’m trying to say is no one outside of Buffalo will care about this stadium. Does that make sense? Players, fans, and media outside of Buffalo won’t even think twice about it. I include Buffalo Bills players as outsiders as well. The only thing they’re going to say is why didn’t they put a roof on it? Honestly I don’t even feel a sense of excitement about the stadium locally. We’re actually getting a new stadium and there’s very little excitement.

I agree 100% with you on the upgrades. I’m not trying to be a jerk or anything but these things just haven’t been a concern for me or anyone I’ve spoken with over the years. It’s also never been a topic of concern from the media. There is basically one chance in a lifetime to build a stadium. This is the one chance. I don’t think they’re doing it right. The same issues will be talked about for 50 years until the next stadium is built.

It’s odd. I also believe the only reason Pegula isn’t building a dome is because half the fans believe football should be played outdoors and the other half don’t care either way. If you notice, the only people not talked about or questioned are the players. There’s a reason for that.

In my 40 or so games attending the stadium the only topics that came up concerning the stadium are the weather and bathrooms. So bathrooms would be number 1.

It’s not just the snow. In fact snow alone isn’t that bad to play in. It’s the wet, wind, cold, and snow all in one. Severe snow events the last 15 years? I can think of 3 which is probably 3 too many. Are you arguing players want to play in Buffalo’s climate?

I think most fans would be ok without those things.

I also said it’ll be a major upgrade but no one cares about how pretty and wide the new concourses will be. Now do teams that have lake effect climates vs those that don’t.

They also don’t want to live here. But that has nothing to do with the stadium. Are you arguing players want to play in Buffalo’s weather?

What are you arguing? That players don’t consider the Buffalo climate? Im so tired of this discussion. You know NFL players don’t want to play in Buffalo. It’s nothing against the fans or the city. They don’t want to play here.

Disadvantage acquiring players. And no, it’s not equal when you have one of the best passing offenses in the league. But I’m not talking about that.

Yea it is. Everything will be a significant upgrade. The concourses will be state of the art. But the players don’t care about the concourses. The fans want the best product on the field and an open air stadium puts the team at a disadvantage. Players don’t want to play in Buffalo weather. I don’t understand why we’re ok with open air.

Why would they? There is literally no push back at all. If we had a vote I’m pretty sure open air stadium would win the vote. Most likely for the dumbest reasons.

$500 million. I understand. But we’re talking about the NFL. That’s $500 million for the next 50 years! The Bills worth will triple over that time. The state and the Pegulas can afford the extra $500 million over 50 years for a closed roof NFL stadium. If the community demanded a dome we’d have a dome. The problem is the community thinks football should be played outdoors.

It’s a different time. Players will always go to where they can win and get on prime time but Buffalo is at huge disadvantage when compared to the majority of NFL cities. Why are we building a stadium for the fans and Buffalo and not to put the most competitive team on the field? Bills fans will go no matter what and will be loud.

It’s funny how fans don’t realize players don’t want to play in our climate. We’re at a disadvantage. It’s funny how Poyer talks taxes and climate while the Bills owner is building a new open air stadium with our taxes.

I still can’t believe we’re building a new stadium and it won’t have a roof. It makes absolutely no sense. I’ll repeat it every game I go to also. Just stupid.

It’s just a basic stadium that could’ve been built 10 years ago at half the price. It’s definitely going to be nice but it’s a waste of money.

Josh would build a roof on his house.

Hopefully it has a dome. 🤞

Question, you only pay NY taxes when you play in NY right? Meaning road games don’t NY taxes? Maybe that’s what he meant by half.

Stop worrying about Dorsey. I understand Frazier because he is what he is but Dorsey is in year one. We were a better offense under Dorsey than we were Dabbol in 2021. That includes Allen tearing his UCL in week 9. He needs to utilize players better but I think players let us down last year. McKenzie and Davis most of all. No Crowder. OL was bad, mainly LG and RT. It was year one. He did adjust his redzone offense. Started bad but finished strong. It’s what gave me confidence he will be good.

Von carries the weight in his ass.

I won’t say never happening because he’s at the perfect age to trade and the Titans are rebuilding. I think he gets traded.

Did Milano come help out for realism?

It makes sense and I actually thought about that. Allen had less discomfort throwing deep. Man they did. I swear he got hit the same way 2 more times as the year went on. We’re so lucky Allen didn’t get hurt worse.
