I thought it was a giant ice rink surrounding the stadium. Lol.

 

It might could be son.

I can't wait for the, returning from commercial shots, of those buffalo in-front of the stadium.  especially during a snow game.

 

they can now routinely add those in with the obligatory shots of sheas and the falls.

The fisheye view of the drawing looks deceiving.  I know other have mentioned this.

If you look at the overhang at the far-left hand side of the stadium it shows the overhang covering all of the upper level with the 2nd thru 4th levels.

If this is more accurate it would be great.

 

All in all, for a cheaper Buffalo stadium that we all knew was going to happen, it looks good to me.

Can't wait to be there for the "inaugural" season!

You and I see things differently. To me it looks like about only half of the 500 level is covered. Leaving the other levels partially covered because of the overhangs. And we all know most of those seats will be clubs and boxes of some sort. Just like what’s currently in the 200s now at Highmark. 
 

again, I really hope I’m wrong but it’s just the way I see it.

Looks great.... from the outside. 

 

Still a much needed upgrade. Hope they maximize acoustics for crowd noise!

Nashville is loaded with $$$. So they, and other rich cities can trash talk us on how superior their stadium is. And we can trash them on how Josh and the boys humiliated them on the prime time!!!

From what I’ve seen on Twitter a lot of Titans fans prefer the Bills stadium.   It seems the condo/Starbucks look of the Titans new joint isn’t sitting well.  A lot are also unhappy with it having a fixed roof.

Interesting. Hard to compare the two 1:1 given their respective locations though. TEN’s stadium looks the part as a downtown destination. The roof is obviously so they can bid for a super bowl. New Bills’ stadium is out in a outer ring suburb. Doesn’t make much sense to put up some sort of brick facade thing out there.

The Tennessee Stadium blows this proposed stadium out of the water, the deck idea with greenery and chairs is outstanding. 

 

How so?   Why would Buffalo need a deck when deck activities are being done in the parking lots already?  there will be plenty of green space at the new stadium too if the Bills rep is to be believed.

 

Tennessee is building an entertainment venue.  Bills are building a football stadium just as they said they would.

Yep.  They probably will get that super bowl too.  Seems like the Titans wanted something that is more of an entertainment venue. Bills wanted a football stadium.  Tailgating culture in Buffalo handles what the outdoor decks at the Titans venue is trying to create.  Win-win for both.

Eh, it's ok. Will they have the Bills playing football & beer there? That's all I care about. Don't really go to see the building aesthetics.

What might be on top of the scoreboard is 5G towers so every fan in every seat gets Verizon 5G Ultra Wide Band with added features for game day. They look like the correct size for 5G towers.

Agree. It's not like people are going to live there. As long as they have tailgating, and the Bills have a good competitive team then fans will be happy.

After giving it time to digest, I gotta say that I'm really happy with how the stadium looks. 

 

I wasn't too impressed at first, especially with the exterior, but now really like it.  It suits our team and the area.

It's nothing "over-the-top", but is very practical, with a modern, clean feel to it.

 

I would be happy to sit in any of those seats to watch a game.  Great sight-lines, with a balanced feel between a big open-aired stadium, and a modern one with a roof.  (I do hope the roof extends further than what this rendering appears to show.)

 

In regards to the exterior... is that all mesh covering the entire stadium?

It's purpose it to basically "absorb" some of the wind, so it all doesn't swirl around the building and onto the field, right?  If so, it makes sense.

 

What an exciting time to be a Bills fan!

Thank God.

there is one part/tone of your post that infuriates me about this region “it’s not fancy, it’s suits Buffalo we don’t need any of the over the top stuff ” 

 

it’s that kind of thinking that keeps this area stuck. “We don’t need nice things”

 

sorry for my mini rant just can’t stand the “because we’re Buffalo we don’t really need nice things.”

$1.5 Billion and a brand new stadium isn’t nice? A stadium in OP …or Downtown for that matter…doesn’t warrant or would be able to support plazas, tons of retail, tons of restaurants…like a Sofi….or Nashville.

 

 

It is almost like they had a ton of qualified architects, engineers, business and marketing planners make sure they hit the proper balance with the available funds and local ability to support what’s built.

Maybe some are just frustrated because our city is not like some of those others that can have and support those things

That’s probably the smaller scoreboard also. I’m guessing there will be a screen and scoreboard on the other end also.

Yeah, I’m fine with our new stadium, and don’t want to be “negative”. I just wish it looked less like a European soccer stadium. Hoping they add at least one unique feature. It seems like a copy and paste design. 

It is definitely copy and paste. It’s very close to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but that was the word on the street anyways.

 

As I’ve said in previous posts, they went short on the canopy for whatever reason. How can your most expensive seats go uncovered? That’s a failure. Hopefully they modify that. This is a 50 year stadium, get it right.

I didn’t say that at all. It’s great they are getting a new stadium it will be nice, But “Built for Buffalo” has severe undertones to it. They had options but choose the cheaper one, that we know. 
 

There will still not be any reasonable hotels within walking distance, any reasonable places to grab a bite to eat, no public transport to the stadium, no place for people to gather after the game besides the parking lots etc.  
 

Not everyone wants to just sit in the parking lot and drink. I get wanting to build to that experience because that’s the majority though.

Not necessarily maximize the wind, but wind certainly is an advantage for us over the years- especially from a kicking standpoint.  Over time, our kickers / punters get used to the all the intricacies and nuance of kicking in our stadium w/ unique wind pattern, but visiting kickers aren't. 

 

 

I understand the reasoning but for me, keeping the wind down to avoid negatively impacting the offense is more important.

 

 

What they need are some huge doors, like 100' by 30' at one end that they can open in a 2 minute span that would allow the wind to come in. Oh the chiefs have the ball with a minute to go and they need a FG to tie the game? Open the doors!

That point is going to be an interesting thing to watch in the future when talking about season tickets and secondary market.  Will those seat still be the most expensive? 

 

I understand now at the current stadium closer is always better but when you are talking about taking in a bills game late in the season, what will the impact be on the secondary market for the fans that want to be covered vs the fans that want to be as close as possible.

[muppy]

my take after reading and upon reflection is I don't think there will be a bad seat in the house. I'd sit in an igloo to watch #17 and our Bills right?

 

Orchard Park NY it is. BRING IT!~!~!!!  ASAP. 

 

GO BILLS!
