It certainly leads to great looking matches and great TV product

Totally agree with you on the in game experience being better Wow I never knew that! Thanks for sharing the information. 1

People have said to me they have PTSD from the last 20 years. They think this team is like all of the others...they’re NOT! With that said, I take the point and recognize that many cannot view the reality of a sports team in terms of different year, different team, different management, etc. This is gonna be one hella game!!!!

It hurts the other team's offense just as much (we should do better with it if we're built to content with the weather and have to play in it frequently.)
CLTbills Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 It’s a double edged sword though.... if we had a dome, how many people would be able to afford the tickets that are now 3-4 times the price? This isn’t meant as a derogatory thing, but Buffalo isn’t exactly a big-money white collar market. Some cities could handle that. I have a hard time believing Buffalo could.
Don Otreply Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 It’s inevitable, a covered stadium is the future for the Buffalo Bills, it’s really not even up for debate anymore. The Pegs want a full house every game in their new stadium, and they are not building an open stadium with all that money. Change is the only constant, well that and stupidity... ? Go Bills!!! 1
Big Blitz Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Got tickets for me and my 2 boys we're coming up from VA. Its their first game. They're 14 and 10 and I feel like they've been waiting forever for this team to be for real. They've only known losing seasons and the Patriots always find a way to win. But they're just coming into their fanhood and the fact that they are huge Bills fans living and growing up here in Virginia I consider it one of my finest accomplishments as a Dad. Lol. Yea the plan was Christmas gift was going to be the Jets game. But then we won on Thanksgiving and the possibility of that game being meaningless became possible so I had to get them. Got them on Saturday. After the fees they were $172 total. 2

jimmy10 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 So do we still get mad at season ticket holders who put their seats up for sale on the aftermarket?

wvbillsfan Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I don’t know if we need a dome or not. I personally like the really cheap tickets on the secondary market. Got the same section I sat at for the patriots game about 100 dollars cheaper per seat for the Ravens game. Second trip to Buffalo this year. Go Bills
TheFunPolice Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) The Bills are currently 16th in the league in average attendance per game, ahead of teams like New England, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh and right behind Seattle. http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance I would do what a number of teams have done: lower capacity to around 64,000 in a nice new open air stadium and charge a bit more. Create a demand for tickets. Chicago's stadium holds 62,000 fans. They're a tad bigger market than Buffalo. Edited December 5, 2019 by TheFunPolice
