I think its because of where you parking.

Its taken me 1.5 hours to get into the lot and 2+ hours to get out. Far more congested without Lot 2.

It took forever before too. That's why I don't park in large lots Only small lots past the crush of traffic.

Also a short video where they're installing the first lighted K in one of the "Highmark" signs on the exterior. Awesome.

Unfortunately, my physical condition is just the reverse of these photos.

That’s an amazing amount of progress in a single calendar year. With the superstructure completed you’ll see what looks like a slow down in the coming months as much of the work will be happening on the interior of the concourse levels.

Saw a vid on Bills’ site with ceremonial install of first stadium seat by its PSL-owning season ticket holder. 
Maybe hard to really tell, but in the video the seat looked small and like it was made of cheap, thin plastic. 
I thought the downsized seating capacity was partially attributed to having bigger, wider seats (bigger people in 2025). I suspect there’s not much leg room with steeper angles.
 For $2B I expected a little better quality.

Arm rest looks like a tooth pick

I just looked up what you are talking about. They look a bit larger than the current stadiums seats in my opinion, but not by as much as my brain was imagining they would be. That's probably my fault for imagining something larger. I think SoFi's seating has ruined my thinking for what seats (and stadiums) can be.

These aren't large people and they're pretty tight together. Much of our fanbase is on the heftier side of the folks pictured:

In addition to the ‘family section’ for non drinkers they should have included a special big seat fat-ass section for the fans who needed a seatbelt extender on their drive to the stadium.

Those look like they are very poor quality. I went to Heinz field the other night and those seats were much better than these look.

[SoonerBillsFan]

WTH? I guess Terry IS cheap.  How the hell can he ask for PSL's and have seating this crappy?

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

The guy sitting in that seat is like 275lbs lol. 

[pi2000]

doesn't everybody stand now anyways?

[WotAGuy]

So glad I didn’t pay a PSL for those Amazon-level cheap-ass seats. Ain’t no way I’m trying to get under 400 pounds to squeeze into that. 
F U Bills!  

[That's No Moon]

Those do look pretty chintzy. I wonder what the expensive seats will be like.

[JJGauna]

The Ghost of Ralph is cheap!

[SirAndrew]

These seats confirm my greatest fear. I was hoping for a modern stadium with comfortable seats, a wide concourse, easily accessible bathrooms, and good concessions. If these seats are an indication, we might see more of a “basic model” stadium that doesn’t do much to upgrade the experience.

That was forst thing I said when I saw the seat. Pegula was prob like they don’t sit down anyway just get the cheapest ones

[frostbitmic]

Where's the wiring, heated seats need electricity.  😁

 

Those construction workers sitting side by side couldn't be any closer to each other, looks like a tight fit.

My fat a$$ fits perfectly on my couch in front of my 70” TV, where I have unlimited access to cheap beer and fattening food. I love the stadium experience, but not at these out of control prices.  

One years worth of season tickets for two will pay for a new TV, couch, surround sound, buffalo bills decor and all the snacks/beer you can eat!
