Saw something pertaining to a dome on the news this week. Minneapolis was expecting a record snowfall of 25 inches. The previous record was 17 inches. That's the one that deflated the dome. How much($)  and thick would a dome be to survive a 77 inch snowfall ?

This isn't an issue anymore. Stadium roofs are no longer inflatable. That was part of the reason the MetroDome roof collapsed. The roof of the Carrier Dome was replaced in 2020 with a fixed steel roof. I read that snow removal isn't even necessary anymore. It was with the old inflatable dome.

Will there be heated seats ? ... It would help with snow removal and make the stadium state of the art, worth every penny.

 

I don't think mother nature will approve of screens trying to confuse her winds.

Josh Allen is so good he’ll be playing left handed when the new stadium opens!

Yea, I noticed that, maybe that UCL injury is more serious that we thought!

After losing a home game and the Bengals playoff game. It’s apparent. Spend the necessary money or none at all. Fire the decision makers and start over if they are too stubborn to change.

I have wanted a dome all along. It’s just literally not happening. So, that’s just sort of it.

How can that thing be so expensive?

The exterior is covered in a sheet of eggshells. 😉

All that glass looks stunning in a concept rendering.

 

It'll look like dirty garbage in about 3 weeks of WNY weather.

 

I hope they plan on hiring a lot of window washers.

I’ve been wondering the same thing.

You should offer to donate the money for the dome then as  NY state isn’t forking over any additional funding. Just need a billion dollars or so.

You realize the Bengals play outside too? Dome has absolutely nothing to do with why the Bills lost. And the game that got moved, a dome doesn't change that decision either. That game was unplayable dome or no dome. Give it up already

While it looks nice, I not blown away by it. It's basically an updated version of the stadium they already have. It doesn't necessarily need to be a dome but more state of the art.

This is where i’m at. Seems underwhelming for $1.4 billion or whatever the cost is at right now.

 

The Vikings got that taj mahal of a stadium for about the same price, albeit 5 or so years ago.

 

Axthally, the more I look at it the more I really dislike it. No real discernible features. Looks like a soccer stadium mixed with MetLife.

Renderings part 2 these look just like the photo's in renderings  part 1 ??

The Vikings new stadium addressed this and it is beautiful. I wish we just copy/pasted their stadium.

Stupid to spend a dime in the snow belt.

I still can’t believe we’re building a new stadium and it won’t have a roof. It makes absolutely no sense.

 

I’ll repeat it every game I go to also. Just stupid.

It’s basically an updated version of what we have now?

 

Besides there being a football field and seats, what else is similar?

It looks different and has a lot of stuff the old stadium didn't have but it's still nothing special, especially when you compare to all the new stadiums that have been built in the last few years. That's all I'm saying. 

I looks like something they would have built in the era when they built stadiums like the Browns or the Steelers.

Expand  

decades of studies about potential new stadiums & in the end we spent billions on a smaller stadium next to the old one. How can we not be excited about that?

You say roof, can point to other stadiums that have it, they'll tell you why YOU can't have it & of course everyone in Buffalo should just be happy about it, as its better than nothing. Yes the mindset of mediocrity!

The exterior looks better than i envisioned but the interior looks ghastly to me. Almost like a sardine tin that someone tore the roof off of.

But I suppose I shouldn't care too much. With the increased ticket prices i likely wont be able to afford to take my family to the games anyways

As long as it’s inside. A Dome is ALL that matters.  These rendering are not impressive at all. It’s almost like they don’t want to spend the money necessary. City of Buffalo? Pegula? 

Expand  

Domes not coming, never was coming. Pegulas aren't kicking in an additional $600M+ to build. Makes ZERO economic sense. A Dome in Buffalo would be used 8/9 times! There's no large conventions in Buffalo. Buffalo has fewer hotels than Toledo Ohio. The city is broke. Pegula could easily move the team to Austin, San Diego, Toronto, etc. etc. And he wouldn't have to spend a dime! The ONLY way the Bills stay is playing outside. Must be nice to live in la la land, and just hold your breath and whine for a dome like a child who wants a toy he can't buy. It has to make some economic sense. Were lucky to still have a team.... Grow up.

You’re right. Small market team in a broke city. Why can’t people of Buffalo have nice things? Instead of settling ,  just move them to a better location.
