loyal2dagame Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 It appears the field is still below ground level. Quote
unbillievable Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Had to reduce the canopy by 20% due to inflation since hotspur was built? Quote
dollars 2 donuts Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) I love @SDS, maybe the best anywhere it running this, or any site, and I would never normally complain (as I set up my complaint), and I get the last thread was 75 pages long, but after all the harassing over the summer and fall Steel City DESERVED his thread's place in the sun for a little bit! Although...I am quite the fan of efficiency so I respectfully withdraw my comment. 😁 @Steel City Mafia buddy, the day has arrived. Congrats. Edited October 27, 2022 by dollars 2 donuts Quote
Wacka Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 )n that drawing that says view from Southwest , it shows a nice grass walkway right to Hammer's Lot! 1 1 Quote
chris heff Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Has there been any discussion of building a dome? Maybe downtown? 5 Quote
Draconator Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 A lot of seats are indeed stacked upon another. I counted 5 levels of seating on the sidelines, and 4 in the endzone. So that tiny canopy could indeed cover 65% of the seats. 1 1 Quote

We should assume that professional architects are going to get this right before believing a rendering. Yeah, honestly not even worried. I still think it maybe just the angle, SDS. Quote
PrimeTime101 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Another day on and I don't have to ask "are we there yet?" I have to say I LOVE IT. The ropes Josh Allen throws, I cannot see wind being an issue BUT, On a day its really really windy? there is going to be a swirl going on in that stadium. You get your lip for weather protection, you get your great view no matter where you sit. I LOVE IT! Go Bills Quote

They also forgot the obligatory Josh Allen leap over the stadium shot. Here's a quick updated version before the SEQR meeting tonight. The stadium that Allen built? 1 Quote
without a drought Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 I was at a high level business meeting, I can't believe I missed the release of the rendering. I've barely slept for months waiting for this. 2 Quote

You are all 100% correct, but just stop. 😉 Honestly, I'm hoping it is just the trick of the angle...or somebody forgot to draw it out further. No. Because it’s not a final design. 65% is unacceptable. 80% was reported a few months ago. This is 40-50 year stadium. They have to get it right. 1 2 1 Quote
Preds Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Pretty unimpressed by these 2 renderings. they don't reveal much and if anything create more WTF type questions with so little info released. For starters, a top down view would give a much better perspective on the canopy coverage, the 2nd pic doesn't imply even 25% coverage IMO, much less 65. Also what's going on in the endzone underneath the videoboard? Is that the standing room only section they previously mentioned? I mean I guess it's sorta cool to have SRO at field level for the aerial visuals and player interaction, but standing to watch a game from there will suck. Next, why does it appear that they plan to have wide open wind tunnel above the end-zone just beneath the canopy, and why have you tilted the relatively small videoboard? Like seriously, major WTF to me. IMO all of that space should be one giant videoboard like virtually every other modern stadium has. Also looks like 4 giant tunnels in each corner that go all the way up to to the upper deck. Not understanding why they need such elevation from all 4 tunnels. I would hope they could give some better renderings, overall the first release is disappointing at best. they really create more questions and provide few answers on where our $850 million is going. 2 1 1 1 1 Quote

Canopy is small and worthless. The canopy keeps the wind off the field. That's the big advantage of utilizing a soccer style stadium. It could be 40 mph outside, it won't effect the passing game.

Allegedly it’s going to be like the old aud in terms of steepness and feeling like you are on top of the action. Also to this, if you are going to take this long to release renderings and only put out 2 pictures in which 1 is not that great, you deserve a little heat. 2 Quote
