Cost: 2.2 Billion

 

I really wish we were getting a domed stadium instead of an open stadium

Remember Bills new stadium will cost 1.4 Billion - All Tax payer funded in comparison

Why?

Because football has been played in the open air for over 140 years 

 

Hot , cold , wind , rain and snow are a part of football

People weren't paying 100's or 1000's of dolllars for tickets not to mention PSL licenses ( 5-10 thousand) to attend said games for over 140 years just to freeze during the game either

I'll believe it when we see the renderings

That’s a part of football…. And Buffalo WAS NEVER building a dome

 

Its not the dna of the city of Buffalo

Pretty much can lock it in that Nashville will host multiple Super Bowls in the future once completed.

Yep.  They ain't no dummies.

I want an open stadium with more indoor seating if i'm paying $1k a game per seat.

Yup, that's exactly why they're doing it.

Basketball used to be played in open air facilities too....

 

In NYC, the street ballers still do!

Buffalo should build domed parking and facilities for Superbowl activities!

But the owners aren’t building these things just for football any more because they know they can make even more money if they can host events year round. College football playoffs, NCAA tournaments (meaning final 4’s), huge wrestling events like wrestle mania, huge concerts at any time. These owners think outside of the 8 dates a year they host football games

This will just make our crowd noisier when we play there.

Absolutely… Syracuse played ASU on an aircraft carrier like a decade ago 

 

the wind moved the ball everywhere

Buffalo doesn’t want a multi use facility 

 

they want a football stadium

Did you know it was about 100 degrees in the Thrilla in Manila?  The ring temps were north of 100 degrees.

As awesome as it would be, I don't think Buffalo would get a SB, even if they built a dome.  I don't think the area has enough hotel space, a large enough airport, etc. to accommodate a Super Bowl, not to mention the weather about town (regardless of the stadium) in February for other activities.  Yes, Minneapolis has pulled it off, but that city is much larger, more cosmopolitan, more hotel space, a major hub airport, etc.  While Minneapolis is colder than Buffalo, it isn't as susceptible to huge lake effect snow storms.  And I'm a big a Buffalo supporter as any.  So Buffalo isn't building a dome to attract a Super Bowl.  Nashville probably can attract one.

 

There may be other reasons to build a dome in Buffalo, but I am not jumping into that debate.  Just commenting on the Super Bowl part.

 

But hey, just because they can't bring the Super Bowl to Buffalo, there's nothing stopping the Bills from bringing Buffalo to the Super Bowl!
