Why on Earth would they build a new stadium in Orchard Park, and why would it not have a retractable roof? How do you not go with a roof if you're building a new stadium? This is very strange. I think most people see a roof as a big part of the point of building a new stadium. The sun issues in Miami because of the overhang are awful. Edited June 18, 2021 by Giuseppe Tognarelli 1
Big Turk Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Guess they have made up their mind not to renovate. Did this somehow get by me?

In a weird way I would like to keep that, but I do prefer a retractable roof stadium. I don’t think swirling winds are an advantage for anyone. We scored one offensive TD against the Ravens in that windy game. 1 1
May Day 10 Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) IMO the cost of a new, somewhat modest outdoor facility there in Orchard Park would about = renovating without the restrictions of being bound to the existing structure. Orchard Park makes the most sense, and I have been saying it for years because the infrastructure is there. Downtown cannot handle Bills traffic. It would be a nightmare and people would leave in the 3rd quarter every game. Sabres games with 19K fans is a nightmare gridlock. They would essentially have to find additional hundreds of millions to rebuild the Buffalo roadway and highway system (money that could go directly into a new orchard park facility). Indoor/Outdoor. I can see both sides. I have been on the side of outdoor, but with a bit more wind/roof protection. I get bored with the miscellaneous nature of indoor games. Outdoor weather effects add to the majesty and individuality of games. You recall a Bills game, you recall the score, a few plays, something that happened in the lot, and the weather.

boater Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 Well the fix is in. Jerry has wanted a new Bills stadium for a long time. He's been very vocal about it. I have no hope that his firm will be objective. BOHICA. 1 2

That piece of info would be helpful for this consulting firm to know.
Captain Hindsight Posted June 18, 2021 Posted June 18, 2021 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Yes the idea of PSL's suck. But in a way it's like a user fee. Why shouldn't people who go to Bills games share some of the cost of building the stadium? Financing will likely be a mix of private and public money. And PSL's can usually be spread over years. I get why, but it doesnt mean I'm gonna play. 1
