One thing that looks kind of messed up is the empty slices in the corners.  Why?!

Because they listened to @R. Rich concerns about fans crowding along the tunnel trying to get autographs after games, so give them as much separation as possible, so it's not worth the trouble to get over there.

Am I mad they’re building another open air stadium in the middle of nowhere costing taxpayers a billion dollars you ask? Yes

Expand  

There are around 9,100,400 people in the state of NY over 18 working. The average cost is around $110 per person who is employed in the state of NY. You can spend more than that on dinner, some drinks, and an uber.

Does anyone why there isn't a 🤬 floating ring roof to cover the lower bowl and protect the expensive seats, while leaving the upper deck exposed? Surely the architects have seen the Jetsons.

Not really if you think about it...

 

We're another day closer to getting better renderings.

Assuming it isnt the final design but something needs to be done about the jumbotron/ scoreboard. Get symmetrical and bigger....

No red endzones, fail!

 

In all seriousness, I like it.  I wish the capacity was a bit larger (more screaming fans = louder game day experience).  The bills usually sell out so the decision to reduce capacity is a bit curious.

 

I wonder if the architects and engineers will build in some sort of "advantage" to maximize crowd noise like in Seattle, or orient the stadium relative to the lake to maximize wind swirl, etc.

 

Finally, I hope they figure out a way to honor Ralph in some way.

Somewhere I read adding a few more seats added a disproportionate amount to the total  cost.

 

Ralph/Terry/Erie County is  cheap

Now see these are the important questions. Anyone got Raccuia on speed dial?

I think thats the standing room only area.

Expand  

The standing area needs to either be sloped or tiered. A large flat space is great for the people at the rail, and sucks for everyone else.

They already did by opting not to build a dome (cheaper).

Boy, there are a ton of Debbie Downers on here. Truly can’t please everyone. Knowing there’s still so much more information and views to come, I love it.

I am not sure what kind of solution would solve that besides a dome....

Expand  

 The canopy could extend to the point where the field is the one exposed TBH.  There are a lot of soccer stadiums in Europe that does that.

[Logic]

Is it in western New York?

Does it have a regulation sized football field and some seats to watch the game from?

Will it ensure that the Bills stay in Buffalo for the next few decades at least?

Cool. We're good here.

Yes. We’d need a cool name “Blucifer” is something I don’t want to F%*$ with.

Looks like the 100 levels are covered.  I like it 😆

[Process]

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that the video board shows the bills celebrating in the ez in white jerseys when they are at the 20 in blue jerseys on the field?

 

And the scoreboard shows them beating the Jets when they are clearly playing the Patriots?

The one question I have is about the field house and training center. It's going to be pretty far away from the stadium. If possible and I am the Bills i'd almost build a tunnel to thenew stadium.

Expand  

 

There already is a tunnel from the admin/fieldhouse buildings to the current stadium.  I think it shouldn't be too difficult to extend it to the new stadium.
