I’m generally curious how big those Buffalos outside the stadium are going to be. From the renderings they look about 30 feet tall

How long until someone attempts to jump off the buffalo into a table?

Pre-construction

Really hope the awning doesn't create shadows on the field(pics from Tottenham show a lot of shadows) There's nothing worse than watching sports with half the field dark and the other half washed out. 

Good point. Shadows are super annoying.

That's really an effect from older cameras with crappy dynamic range. And yeah, that does suck. But it's a problem that's been fixed. 

It may not be as bad as it used to be but it's still an issue. I've changed a few games this season because of shadows. It's very annoying.

Since the new stadium deal was announced, inflation has increased substantially. 

 

I presume this has resulted in a substantial increase in the projected cost of the stadium.

 

I wonder if that was one of the reasons for the delay in the renderings and why it is now 65% of the seats covered as opposed to a larger number.

How can we go about giving up Zach Moss and a 5th to get this done faster?

They said on WGR that the largest statue of a buffalo/bison in the world is in Jamestown, North Dakota and is 26ft tall.  I'm sure the Bills will want to break that record.

I feel like I saw that 65% number before the information released today.

 Which 30 feet would break that record.
 

Eff it shatter that record. Make them 50 feet tall.

The buffalos are already iconic.

I don’t know if it will create huge shadows, because the awnings look quite small in the rendering. I’m not knowledgeable about engineering, so maybe someone can enlighten me, but I don’t understand the point of the awnings. They look like they won’t cover many fans. Is the awning supposed to reduce winds? I’d think the stadium itself could be constructed to limit winds.

The stadium looks awesome! Can someone clue me in as to why they decided to decrease the seat count? Are we worried this will decrease crowd noise/home field advantage? Thanks

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Only the cheapest seats will be covered lol

Well that looks like a giant anus so...

 

So, in other words, more appropriate for a team like...the Browns?

Less seats,  increased demand. Higher prices

40,000 of the attendees are covered in that rendering?

 

Yeah, not really getting that vibe, either.  If true I would imagine someone has drawn a better angle. 

 

300 level, you guys are golden, though.

 

 

 

 

Exactly,  the upper deck you're going to be protected.  But as you get closer to the field is when you will get exposed. Pretty nice architecture but the canopy could've been extended more. It will reduce wind.

The huge buffalo statues out front though!

They need to make it even bigger by creating a statue of Josh hurdling the 3 Buffaloes 🦬🦬🦬

For everyone commenting negatively about the size of the canopy, there's pills and a pump for that. 

 

There's also this...
