Instead of settling , just move them to a better location. Well maybe you could chip in? I have has season tickets for decades, I attend the games no matter the weather, and have tons of great memories, that I hope continue. I walk the walk... With your cavalier response, I doubt you have ever attended a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm fine with no dome but it still should be more state of the art. Instead what we got screams small market. I guess all that matters is that they are staying in Buffalo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It looks pretty good to me.

It’s almost like they don’t want to spend the money necessary. City of Buffalo? Pegula? How long were you in a coma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDeerInTheHeadlights Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 It's pretty much a copy of the Tottenham Stadium with Bills logos slapped on it. There is nothing horribly wrong with that, as the original one seems to be known for its great sightlines and amazing gameday atmosphere, which is pretty much what most Bills fans wanted. It just looks very vanilla and underwhelming from a design perspective, and it is somewhat disappointing they can only get something so uninspiring and unoriginal for that kind of money. They better engineer state-of-the-art vomitoriums in that thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Agree. Im not that impressed.

LabattBlue Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 From the one sideline rendering, it looks like there is a very gentle slope of the seats in the sideline lower level, and appears that the first row is further away from the field than at RWS. So much for stacked seating and being right on top of the field…hopefully it is not 100% accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a pile of rocks like the original one. Still for what they spent on it, it should be a lot more impressive. It's very generic but I guess that's to be expected when all fans want is the Bills to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any small chance of avoiding it, through awareness and public outcry of how our money is used, is worth a shot It's baffling and frustrating that people still don't realize this. Honestly disappointing to see so much animosity against a domed stadium on here. At some point in time, very likely multiple times, this will screw us badly. Football purists will continue to say "That's fine, football is meant to be played outdoors!" Meanwhile teams with great weather and indoor playing conditions will continue to put up record breaking offensive numbers. Deeply, deeply disappointed in ownership here. There is no reason not to have a dome, other than the financial side of it, which is generally inconsequential to Pegula and his investment would only be more readily recouped if he went through with that. Oh well. There are no good billionaires. Edited February 26, 2023 by Dick_Cheney 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
