I was not at the Miami game, so dont remember if that was full or not. I think lifting the blackout rule can hurt a team like the Bills..i thought it was a good rule. For whom?

Indy is so sterile. Yay! Shopping at TJMaxx downtown! 1 hour ago, plenzmd1 said: I am actually fine with that..but i do think December game attendance be better with a roof. Even when team is competitive, lots of folks will not sit in the cold when every game now is guaranteed to be on TV I find watching game on TV is unwatachble. The game is too far gone, wrecked with all the tech, rules, replays. It's better being at game. Everything has become so sterile. Being there actually is the last hope.

Seasons really are silly for out of town people like me..way cheaper to buy single games...but having them gives me an excuse to get to more games
SoCal Deek Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I’ve been to a few. I’d rank Minneapolis and Dallas at the top. Both are enclosed but have so much natural light that you feel like you’re outside. Nicely done!

You think the tickets are going to be that much more valuable if the game is blacked out? Times have changed, there are just too many other options now. As far as the Bills go, Pegs only loses pocket change. TV is the cash cow.
Yav Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Sorry, but Arizona. Great location, great stadium and looks great from the outside. A grass field in a dome, the field actually can be moved out of the stadium for sunlight, water and concerts.

Its hot here, the hotter the weather the less clothing on the hot women. Not to mention Westgate is right there and they just opened a Top Golf so there's a lot to do in the area after the game. 1

Unbelievable.

I bet they are both incredible. I'm partial to Arizona. I just moved back here in June from Kansas City and I hated that place. I took my daughters and ex wife to see the Bills play there and my kids were verbally assaulted by grown men while waiting in line to use the restroom and my ex was actually singled out by four men in Chefs gear they ran right into her knocking her down while swearing at them. I had to step out of line and get into a scuffle with them. A big reason I can't stand the Chefs or the dumb ass fans. But anyways that stadium his horrible and they actually replace the lyrics for the National Anthem to "home of the chiefs" very disrespectful.
SoCal Deek Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Yav...I’m referring only to the stadium itself. Not the fans or game day atmosphere. Too bad about your KC experience. We had the same in Oakland and would NEVER go back. I’m interested to see what it’ll be like in Vegas.
row_33 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 attended at 8 NFL games, deep down i really like Buffalo best, no frills, elements in full effect, fanbase that loves this team even in the worst of times turf is the only real downer 1

Bob in STL Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Build something like Jerry's stadium. go big or stay home.
Beast Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Preferably, something with wooden bleachers and no seat backs. 1 1

Last year that was the Miami game..and I truly could not find anyone to take the tickets, let alone sell them. Several friends said gonna watch on the TV that prolly would have went otherwise.Maybe someone would have actually bought them @the $10 I had them listed for. Again , my point is more for the season ticket holder..
msw2112 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I have been to many NFL stadiums and although I like the outdoor elements, I think that a retractable roof dome is the most practical for Buffalo. I have attended many games at the Arizona stadium and it is a good model. Large and modern with plenty of amenities, but not crazy over the top. I have also seen the Indy stadium (only from the outside and on TV, never been to a game there) and it also seems to be the type of stadium that would work for Buffalo. I have been to a game in the new Dallas stadium and think it is way too big and way too over the top - and would be way too expensive for Buffalo. I actually prefer the AZ stadium to the Dallas one. Minnesota looks great on TV (have not been there), but I don't know if it is retractable and I don't know if the funding will be there for something on that scale in Buffalo. 1
Dadonkadonk Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Unfortunately retractable dome is just too expensive, but would be perfect for Buffalo.
tbarg12 Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 I would like to see a retractable roof, mainly because of times like this:
