There's a lot of posts about how "they" should poll more of the fans for their opinion on the stadium design.

 

Don't you think they should poll the Taxpayers that will be footing the bill?

I live on the other side of the planet, and to be honest, my opinions shouldn't count for anything on this.

Erie county tax payers should be thought of first exactly

Unfortunately most Buffalonians and Bills fans don't come to forums like this 

 

Most people here are probably expats and transplants 

 

Huge following here, but it's probably not even 10% of the fan base

That's such Garbage. 

Everyone here either shows enough respect for the bills to not troll or are fans .. if you think 10% of the posters here are fans your koo koo

Why Erie county taxpayers? NYS taxes via bond funding are likely going to pay for it. Erie county will reap enormous benefits.

I think you're misreading what I said

 

Everybody here is a ultimate Bills fan.. that's why they're on the message board

 

My point was this message board is only probably 10% of Bills fans around the world... And that's ludicrously high.. prolly under 1%

 

Don't get it twisted.. this place is filled with die-hard bills fans it's why we are here

yea.. you said it wrong.. so your saying only 10% of the fans on these forums are from buffalo? Does not matter.. A FAN is a FAN. Just about everyone here has been to at least one game in there life I am sure. If they are an Ultimate Fan as you put it then the Ultimate Fan no matter where they live should have a say on a poll... 

 

just silliness.

I'd be surprised if this site had even 1% of Bills fans worldwide.

Agree. But here we are. Twitter, Channel 4 news and other bigger outlets have done such polls on the stadium.. Roof.. Retractable.. No roof.. Results pretty split.

if this board’s membership is 10% of Bills fans total then they have a smaller fanbase than a Texas high school football team. Ridiculous statement. Also not surprising

No. Dude there's only like 10 or 20,000 active fans on this forum

 

There are millions of Bills fans

 

This place only compromises like 10% of Bills fans that was my point.. the vast majority of Bills fans from Buffalo and around the world don't come here

 

So a poll here of 15,000 fans doesn't represent the full fan base or Buffalo

 

And that's what I was responding to.. never once said anything about the character of the fans here

 

I said the majority of Buffalo Bills fans around the world  and in Buffalo aren't on this message board, it's the truth

that explains it better.. OK.. To my point... These forums are not the only place a poll has been at.. Channel 4 and 7 did a poll. Twitter did multiple polls. They were all pretty split between Roof, Retractable and no roof

That actually helps my point.. my point was the vast majority of Bills fans aren't on this website.. shot ridiculously high at 10%... Your tight prolly under 1%

 

I wasn't disparaging anybody..  my point was most Bills fans are not on this website I don't know how that's controversial

This place only compromises like 5-10% of Bills fans that was my point.. probably less... the vast majority of Bills fans from Buffalo and around the world don't come here

you come up with a bigger place to do a poll then let me know.. forums is a small fan size and you cant possibly know how say a million bills fans are thinking.

We are literally all hardcore Bills fans on a message board... We all shout different opinions here 

 

At least I'm not wishy-washy, I stand by my opinions and I show respect to everybody..

Yeah, I'm sure there are more than enough fans willing to fill a roofed stadium as they are an open one.  And while diehard no roof fans will grumble, most won't avoid going to the games just because there's a roof.

I vote for comfortable seats with arm rests and drink holders, Genny Cream Ale on tap, and plenty of bathrooms. Clean ones. After that, I don't really care.

Probably by 9% but I was being lenient 

 

The point was this place is filled with a small percentage of hardcore fans ... Hardcore fans have strong opinions lol

I primarily responded to a guy, who said he don't pay taxes in Western New York or New York state so his opinion shouldn't matter..

 

As a Bills fan of course you have your opinion and it does matter.. but when it comes to building the stadium I think a Bills fan who's paying New York state and Erie Couty taxes should maybe be polled

 

In a legitimate poll of Erie county

Taxpayers should be polled? You cant make this stuff up lol... GL with that.
