The elements hurt every bad QB too. Sometimes to the point where they can't even throw.

I would rather have an elite QB doing elite things. 

 

There are very few scary weather home fields. Snow is not the issue in Buffalo. It's the wintry mix and wind. Green Bay is cold and snow. The wind and rain isn't that bad in Green Bay. 

 

We have that nasty weather coming off the lake. It's just different.

I agree that numbers go down

 

But all quarterbacks are not created equal... Mac Jones literally was not allowed to throw in that wind because he couldn't... Most quarterbacks would have to keep the ball within five 10 yards

 

Josh actually completed like 15 passes and had zip downfield... If we had a running game we would have blown the Patriots out

 

We would be almost unbeatable in those circumstances with a running game... Can Josh have a bad game in elements? sure 

 

But he's also very capable of always out playing the other quarterback which is a huge advantage

SB 1990 January 27

SB 2022 Feb 13 

+17 days deeper into January/Winter

Maybe this is the nostalgia disconnect for “fall October outdoor football”

 

(HS ends vet day, NFL ends valentines!)

You want tiny flags??? Hmmmmm

 

 

I will say, yet again, I don’t really care as long as they remain in WNY. PERIOD. I’m sure we have that part covered, so I’m good. 

 

Having said that, I think a dome would help late season attendance. I go early in the season for a reason.  I’m an out-of-towner. I would not consider a late season game. That’s NOT a complaint, it’s just a fact. When I was a kid the bad weather games were almost more fun because of the bad weather. I am not a kid anymore, and I have a very nice big screen and a comfy couch. I’m good. 

 

MY ideal scenario would be a Minneapolis style facility downtown surrounded by hotels, restaurants and bars. If it were domed I’d consider late season games. The walk to the stadium in Nashville was a far easier and more pleasant experience than me getting near, then into and out of a lot in OP. This is admittedly from an out of towner, and just speaking strictly from that perspective. 

 

I could go on and on, but I expect an open air stadium in OP because it’s cheapest and easiest. That will make many people happy, including me. I just hope we have the same great sight lines as we do in The Ralph.

Some choices like those which are in other stadiums:

 

Ice cold showers in visitors locker rooms.

Full stadium audio - listening not speakers - including visiting locker rooms.

Obstructing view seating where you cannot even see the field due to overhang and pillars.

Falling apart in less than cost of bonds to finance it.

Tickets sold for seats which were not owned

Yet another thread debating a dome?


They are NOT GOING TO BUILD A DOME IN WNY!
 

Get over it!

 

It costs too much money and the owner of the team doesn't want it! 

 

 

PS:  I can't believe how may fans think a stadium in Orchard Park is a good idea.

 

Jesus Christ.

 

 

You are a bundle of joy lol

You expect there to be love seats installed?

 

I got a dual  leather lazy boy recliner  a console with storage and cup holders parked in front of my 55" HD LED TV ;)

 

At least give me something with padding if you want my money ;)

It just gets you the right to buy a ticket, yes.  But the purpose of that charge isn't to build a better stadium---it's simply to unburden the owner from some of his contribution/obligation to the building of his new and more amenity packed, higher revenue generating stadium.

 

The state will contribute whatever it will, PSE will contribute the rest---and will charge season ticket buyers PSLs, which will be counted as "financed by owner" money for the new place.

 

 

Let me put it a different way. I think most Bills fans would easily trade the bells and whistles for a roof, so as to not sit out in the cold, rain, and wind. Their message to the Pegulas would be to save their money. Invest in a simple, non-retractable, or skylit roof. And don't squander their investment on wifi, multi-million dollar video boards, operable walls/roofs, and luxury suites that most fans will never sit in.  WNY is not Los Angeles. Very few Hollywood celebrities are going to be sitting 'court side'.

Get over a dome but don't get over an OP stadium?

 

The owner wants it in OP for the same reasons.

Or, just hear me out, all home games in the first half of the season, on the road the last half.  

 

How about 3 in September and October then 1 in November, December and January

 

Easy fix to the dome problem
