Beerball Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 A first for the NFL. Nice to see a season ticket holder get the project. Before the Ralph is cheap talk starts this is a County project. link
silvermike Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Looks like we're in for blue end zones now. I'd say that's a step forward.
Astrobot Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Looks like we're in for blue end zones now. I'd say that's a step forward. Oh dear! The defense won't see our receivers in the end zone! Wouldn't this be unfair? I'll go ask the Boise State Broncos...
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Wonder if he is related to Dick Dobmeier, who was a spotter for Bills radio broadcasts for years. (The name sticks in my head from hearing Van Miller say it every week, along with Dr. Ed Gisevic... I know, I'm old and weird.)
UConn James Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Normally, selling pieces of the old field to fans might be a nice gesture and even be a little income to the county to offset what they spend on RWS. (I'm assuming the county owns the old turf --- they paid for it). However, in this case with a decade of failure on that turf, I just don't think it'd be pulling in a lot of buyers.
Rockinon Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 A first for the NFL. Nice to see a season ticket holder get the project. Before the Ralph is cheap talk starts this is a County project. link That's a great story. The guy is a long time Bills fan and is now doing the new turf for the Ralph. His company is making a top notch product too.
Chandler#81 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Thanks, Beerball! Now, with new uni's, field and players, we'll definately look alot different than our recent teams. Hopefully we'll also PLAY alot different than our recent teams.
Blanco_Diablo Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Looks like we're in for blue end zones now. I'd say that's a step forward. Was hoping for red end zones, but blue will work
Captain Hindsight Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Was hoping for red end zones, but blue will work I like the Blue i think that looks really cool
nucci Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Was hoping for red end zones, but blue will work Yeah, the blue looks pretty good.
BillnutinHouston Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 The blue end zones should be cool. Between the new helmets and the new endzones, looks like the "red" is being deemphasized and made just an accent color.
Billsguy Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 A first for the NFL. Nice to see a season ticket holder get the project. Before the Ralph is cheap talk starts this is a County project. link Good luck with the new turf. BTW, Ralph isn't cheap, but he makes really bad decisions (with his money). Ask Chris Kelsay if Ralph is cheap. Not cheap, but not smart.
Mark Vader Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 It's good to put a new turf in. I like the idea of blue end zones. Now, can we get a new lease?
uticaclub Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Blue Endzones, maybe we can get naming rights Labatt Blue Field at Ralph Wilson Stadium

dwight in philly Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Wasn't it Dick Rifenburg? Van, Stan, and Rife!! yea, at one point it was, ahh! the good old days! "rife" was actually a college end out of michigan, believed he caught a pass in the rose bowl in the forties. he was all substance and no pazazz!, would never last today!.. sure miss his style!

ExWNYer Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Wonder if he is related to Dick Dobmeier, who was a spotter for Bills radio broadcasts for years. (The name sticks in my head from hearing Van Miller say it every week, along with Dr. Ed Gisevic...I know, I'm old and weird.) I was wondering if he's any relation to my 2nd Grade teacher from Grand Island, Linda Dobmeier. She taught my sister, brother, & me years ago and was the favorite teacher of all three of us. My sister still keeps in touch with her so I'm going to try and find out if Jim is related to Linda. That would be wild. Either way, I'm glad a local guy got the contract. Very cool. BTW, I noticed the blue endzones in the pic, too. My first thought was that must have to do with the uni changes but would they have let a bidder in on that? I doubt it. More likely, it's just his vision of how the field would look.
Malazan Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Looks interesting, hope it is a good surface for the Bills
