Never heard this...Ninkovich says Bills visiting locker room is the worst in the NFL by far

[That's No Moon]

I hear the Dolphins have a ping pong table available on Craiglist. Mebbe Terry can scoop that up for them. It's an amenity I know but it's also apparently the most distracting of table games.

The mens bathroom trough is directly connected to the visitor locker room water fountain.

Make them uncomfortable. Turn up the heat in September and AC in Oct - Feb.

Who cares.

 

It was better than the old rock pile.

 

I had the opportunity to speak with Len Dawson at an autograph show in Chicago.  When he heard I was a Bills fan his face lit up and said "The old rock pile".

 

He then said that the visiting locker room had only two showers and only one of them worked.

 

We had a good laugh.

 

By the way, Len Dawson seemed like a genuinely really good person.

 

 

 

On one of the old NFL Films about the AFL Bills some opposing players talk about this Visitors' Locker room.

One player said there was just long boards with nails pounded half in to hang your stuff on.  LOL.

It’s too bad the Chiefs don’t ever have to worry about playing in Buffalo EVER!!!

I mean this is the visiting locker room in the most expensive stadium ever built.

 

Those fold out chairs are of the plush variety! 🤩

That was typical when stadiums of that era were designed and built.  Visiting teams got minimal space and comfort.  Oakland's visitors was a notorious hell hole.  New stadium will solve this issue.

Sounds like the home locker room at The Rockpile

That was a terrible place.   Heard from people who worked on the clean up crew  The Depression era plumbing was awful and the locker room was cramped, damp and smelly..   

[Chicharito]

It is terrible . High school type locker room. I remember just laughing at the old tv’s in the locker room. One of the tv’s had a VCR in it. 

[Wacka]

Tasker was talking about this OBL today. Arrowhead Stadium (same age) isn't any better.He said Oakland-Alameda County Stadium was bad and the worst was Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

[BillsPride12]

I like this.  It's Sports, the away teams shouldn't expect Country Club conditions.  I know that isn't commonplace now but I think once upon a time it was.  I remember hearing stories about the Lakers having to deal with horrible conditions when they would play the Celtics in the old Boston Garden.

Okay. While I find it humorous that 53+ men have to share 1 toilet. Count me as one that isn’t really proud of messing with people’s bowels.

 

New stadium soon. 

[RyanC883]

whatever, you take whatever advantage you can.  If the NFL does not have standards on this (which would be ridiculous), take advantage.  The Dolphins built a stadium to literally fry the other team.  

[Wayne Arnold]

Why should the visiting locker room be any better than your average public high school locker room?

 

I f'n love this. Let them suffer.

At least it seems our hotels have gotten much better since Brady took that shot a while back. 

[Mike in Horseheads]

I would think the NFL and NFLPA have minimums on conditions

A relative of mine who had a long, great career with the Patriots told me the same thing.

He said it's "one of the worst." There may be others just as horrible.

 

But interesting stuff.

The single toilet thing is really strange to me though. Who thought that was a good idea?

Probably just to mess with the opposing team

NFL denied request for a magnifying glass to concentrate sun on visitor side.  They were going to call it the fishing fly area.

A long career means he was a good liar.
