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

 

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

 

Once upon a time we had to go out in Hot, cold, wind, rain and snow to use the outhouse too.

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

And no dome ensures Buffalo will never host a Super Bowl.

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

Yeah, being able to host a Super Bowl in Buffalo would be great for this town, but some people think the weather here is some huge advantage.  I would disagree.  Maybe if we were a run heavy team, but bad weather favors the running game, not the passing game.

And how's that gone to date?

 

Do you understand how much revenue hosting a SB brings to a city?

That was a option which didn’t happen … a proposed dome in Lancaster 

 

proposed … Buffalo and dome do not mesh

Are you a troll? We are on the verge of winning for years … the last 50 years are IRRELEVANT 

 

Not to mention 2 afl titles sitting in the Ralph … but nice try

On the verge, eh?  So, the verge is the goal?  And we can thank playing outside for being on the verge for years?

Ralph Wilson wanted a dome.  Almost moved the team to Seattle because of it before settling on the stadium in Orchard Park.  You said Buffalo was never going to build a dome but plans were initially in place to and the way you posted is acting as if no one wanted a dome.  They couldnt get the funding.  Same as now.  They wouldnt get the funding.  Has nothing to do with "Buffalo DNA"

If you don’t think JA17 will deliver SBs idk what your watching 

and the bills have only lost 1 home playoff game EVER at the Ralph … it’s an advantage

The dome was never as close as your making it 

 

It was never close to finalized … and yes even when this new stadium was being planned , keeping it outside was huge 

 

Buffalo culture WAS MENTIONED

I think they could've gotten the funding if they really wanted to this time. It would've required the Pegula's to open their wallets and take on more of the costs themselves, but considering what they were able to somehow talk the State into kicking in, I think it could've gotten done.

And 150yrs ago we were riding around on horses. Couple thousand yrs ago we were living in huts. 
 

Evolution is wonderful. 
 

Domes like the Vikings and Falcons and open air stadiums like LA are really nice. We dont need to have your old 1970s style dome.

Every QB coming into the Ralph in January WILL struggle worse than Josh 

 

he can cut it through the winds and others cannot … that’s an advantage 

[bobobonators]

Based on how this team is built - via the passing game and Josh Allen an argument could be made for a strategic advantage for the next decade if we played in a dome/retractable roof

 

I want to see people get excited for our afc championship game when it’s 5 degrees out with 40mph winds and we can’t pass. Fun times.

But other teams may not revolve around the pass as much as we do. They may be able to run it down our throats.

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

Exactly, that's why I don't understand the thinking of all these "purists" that think were not the Bills if we're not playing in the cold, snow, and wind in Dec-Jan, apparently completely oblivious to the fact that those conditions are not great for our style of offense whatsoever.
