Simply for playing/watching football in and not breaking the bank. Fiscally responsible, since a lot of it is public money. SoFi was what, $5 billion? With all private money. Others over $2 billion with public money included. Pegulas are looking out for Buffalo and keeping the Bills there, while also enhancing the tailgating/game day experience. Politicians wanted a huge stadium and much more money-wasting, with little-to-no tailgating in downtown location. Expand Looking out for Buffalo? Lol. Sure. Maybe they could add a little of their own cash like everyone else and make something awesome for the area, instead of “the best Buffalo can afford”.

Or are you saying everyone should just be happy with whatever as long as the Bills stay in Buffalo? Quote

Jukester Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 What’s off to me is how underwhelming this rendering release is as far as views and details. Two pictures after all this time and all the hype?? Horrible horrible marketing. Instead of pumping up the fans with excitement, many of us are left with more questions. Honestly these pictures aren’t too different than the generic ones they released when Populous was announced. Why not wait til you have more to release like interior, suites, overhead, and 360 degree interactive views. I’m still confident the stadium is going to be fantastic (a little worried about the canopy) but just can’t believe they blew the rendering release this badly. 1 2 Quote
WotAGuy Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 Has Populous been contracted and funded for the entire design? I would think so. It could be they just can’t nail down the details until there is a firm authorization for a construction budget. The construction funding uncertainty could be why they aren’t releasing fuller details, in case something needs to change relative to the funding amount. Quote

Einstein Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 The more I look at the photos, the more I realize that I like the inside more than the outside. As I kept staring at the outside, I don’t get that special pre-game feeling. I always loved tailgating while being able to look at the stadium, see the upper deck as people fill in (from the parking lot), hear all the sounds, and almost be part of the inside action even when still outside. This feels very closed and dark (don’t love the brick facade either). I do like the inside though. 1 Quote

Expand My bad I thought you were saying like many that if the pegs didn’t get their way they would leave. They get a brand new stadium but that would be factored in to the relo cost. To move from Buffalo to anywhere would be very costly for them, it’s very relevant. Edited October 28, 2022 by CountDorkula Quote

Einstein Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 I also find it interesting that it’s not symmetrical. The left side of the 100 level has a gradual slope, while the right side has a fairly steep slope. The 200 level on the left is shaped a bit differently and the 300 level on the left has a wall behind it, while the right side doesn’t. Quote
