Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)

There is only one reason why a fixed roof stadium is not being built…Pegula didn’t want to pay for it.  It has nothing to do with what the fanbase wanted(allegedly).  This was just some made up justification for Pegula to not have to pony up the extra cash.

Nah, he just didn’t want to be like those wimps in Detroit.

So for those who wanted one it appears that the retractable roof in BOTH Dallas and Indianapolis are now broken.

Wow. Northwestern U. (located in Chicago) is building a new stadium for what is the NYS & Erie County contribution for New Highmark.

 

I get that there’s a difference b/w college and the NFL but that difference amounts to almost three times the cost?

as long as it doesn’t somehow indirectly get passed down to the taxpayers, I’m good.

its not the Pegula's are the hook for all cost over runs. But it does bring back the dome debate and the costs associated

The field is my biggest concern. I know they have a plan. Plans don't always work out. Hopefully theirs does and the technology they are building works they way they hope it will to keep the grass growing in the deep winter months.

That was cool - went into a lot more detail on some of the stuff people were wondering about.  Overhang snow load, natural grass maintenace, Wind Confusion!..  The idea of the technology building is cool - separate that out so that it doesn't take up stadium space - and able to be expanded outside the confines of the stadium.

 

My son is a Construction Engineer here in NC and this year before a game we walked over and were looking at the stadium and he casually mentioned he submitted his resume at some point - I'm not even sure when - "I figured if I got hired I could just come up and live with Grandpa for a while"

Pretty awesome look at the new stadium. I see so many comments about "why didn't they build a dome", but this gives alot of insight on how the stadium will avoid the elements and alot more

If it doesn’t they’ll just heave to make adjustments to the surface and install what they have now.
