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. 

You can’t run at will in the NFL playoffs … we stop the run in the playoffs … it comes down to the arm

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.

 

Probably.  Pretty sure Pegula wanted and open air stadium.  Still... its not "Buffalo DNA."  It's people with the power making choices.  There are tons of people that would rather have a dome.

There’s no point in arguing. 
 

Have a good day sir.

You say there are tons that want a dome… sure… there are also tons and tons who don’t 

 

it’s both ways …

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 

 

So like the Pats game last year?  There is no homefield advantage anymore.  The sun in Miami is worse than snow.  All the weather does is slow our offense down and make it more even for other teams.  Did the Colts lose here in the playoffs because of the weather?  Did the Ravens?  Did the Pats get destroyed here because of the weather?  No, I dont think any of those teams losses had anything to do with the weather.

 

How many wins can you point to over the last 3 years just because of the weather?  I can point to at least one loss.

It's going to impact BOTH teams as the NE game we LOST clearly demonstrated last season.  You must be confusing Allen for Jim Kelly since we don't have much history with Allen playing in bad weather in Buffalo in Dec-Jan.

1 game is an anomaly … 60mph winds don’t happen and that will never happen again 

 

Josh cuts through 30mph wind like nothing and that’s a fact

Allen had played in a lot of windy cold games … the windstorm game is an anomaly and josh hit diggs 60 yards downfield in his hands and he dropped it

 

nobody alive can make that throw but him

And the people that don't want it don't want it for nothing other than nostalgic reasons, because if they actually cared about how our team is built and how our offense in designed, a dome is a no brainer.

It still happened. Saying it will never happen again as an excuse is BS.  It can and will happen again.  Can you point to any games we won just because of weather over the last few seasons?  I cant think of one that we wouldnt have won that we still wouldnt have won in a dome.

Buffalo should build domed parking and facilities for Superbowl activities!

 

No Superbowl game is going to be held in Buffalo until global warming goes much further and Buffalo becomes the resort of the rich.

 

Do you build  domed parking and facilities for Superbowl activities watching game in other stadiums?

Domes suck

.....until you lose home field advantage to a crappy Belichick team because of 40mph winds.  Bad weather, snow, rain, wind neutralizes any arm strength advantage Josh gives you.  No one will ever convince me that the one team (Buffalo) that has the most reasons to have a dome over all the others, doesn't need one. Oh well too late now.

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 

 

That is great if you can get someone else to pay for it.

[Bray Wyatt]

Somehow this turned into a dome debate for the bills stadium.

 

I moved down to TN outside Nashville 3 years ago and am

excited about this, they are supposed to be building up a whole area around it

 

If it is anything like the battery in Atlanta it will be amazing 

[DallasBillsFan1]

Buffalo cannot afford a domed stadium ... too much and not enough of a destination to attract conventions, college playoffs, NFL drafts.  We are stuck with an old fashioned, lower end, open air stadium.

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

Hate to say it, but the city of Buffalo doesn't have the infrastructure to host a modern day SB. 

 

Nashville is a tourist destination and is an ideal place to have one.

A dome will allow lesser QBs to have the game of their life in the playoffs 

 

Perfect weather can make any pro QB have a good game… Very few can come here in January and play well

[Steptide]

I don't think people realize how much the new bills stadium will be shielded from the elements. While it's not a dome, it's as close to a dome as you can get without calling it one. 

[Warcodered]

I swear if they get their renderings first I'm going to burn this ***** to the ground.

Disagree.  Considering what the Pegula's were able to talk the State into kicking in, they could've made it happen.  Would've made the Pegula's open their wallet and pay more, but funding really isn't the issue. It's the desire to do it.

Wait, so now you're suggesting we need to play outside so we have some imaginary advantage in order to win?  LMAO

 

I think we're still waiting for you to name the games we won specifically because we played outside in bad weather and it gave us the advantage.

 

And FYI, the Super Bowl is always played in locations were it's assumed weather will not be a factor, so it's a true test of team vs team, not teams vs the weather.

Wrong, it's money.  You need to spend a lot more for the infrastructure, hotels, parking, roadwork, etc .....  I love Buffalo but it is not a destination people are drawn to.  Nashville is.  The Pegula's and/or New York (taxpayers) don't have the $$ to spend what is needed to make a Dome possible.
