They beat Columbus in OT 3-2. The Sabres problem is consistency. They give up 9 goals one night. The next they hang 9 on the Maple Leafs (which is awesome!)

 

They stink every year.  Perfectly consistent.

Let me see if I can sketch something up tonight. 😁

Home prices, sure. But are construction prices that different? Why does a stadium in Tennessee cost 60% of one in WNY? (I can guess.)

Get the same job in Boston you had in Western NY and watch your income increase by 40%. Then watch your spending cash decrease. A locale’s cost of living, or doing business impacts everything.

Titans, who announced their stadium deal 13 months after the Bills did, have released their 3d walkthrough of the new stadium:
 

 

I love how you can see the field from all of the concession stands. It's beautiful inside.

Not much excitement from the fans, they're all just standing around.  The only real movement I saw was the band at the 50 second mark.

Its pretty nice looking.  Open-concourses are pretty standard now.  My only complaint is that one really big lounge area with the copious number of couches not even facing the field.  Go in and watch the game, people.  

 

I wish we had such a walkthrough.

[SoCal Deek]

Let me explain this again. These type of walk throughs are VERY easy to create. Once the Architects complete the computer model of the stadium they can literally select any path you’d like to move around inside the model. The only post-production added to the path are the people, trees, etc (known as ‘entourage’ in rendering vernacular).

 

With that said, why the Bills have chosen not to release any is beyond me. The only thing I can think of is they’re trying to oversell the interior finishes until all the construction contracts are finalized. If they’re going to cut corners at this point in the process it’ll be in the finishes.

yeah that’s a nice feature.  Hopefully the new Bills stadium offers a similar “open concourse” concept.

 

I was at Nationals Park several times for baseball games and really enjoyed being able to see the action while taking a break and getting out of the sun.

Bills just aren't releasing it because they don't want us to the secret dome!

Also not one fat person in the entire video.

Man that lady with her arms up in the 17 Tannehill jersey was seemingly all over the stadium!

I wonder how much Kim’s health issues derailed any follow ups on virtual views and other pre-sales set ups, especially with the departure of Ron Raccuia

The Flaming Thumbtacks have a 1999 stadium and a new one now. I like the new one. Hope ours is even close

When your team sucks and you don't even have a coach you need to distract the fans with something.

Not building a domed stadium is going to be one of the dumbest moves in the history of WNY.

That is really nice to see that but seating took a hit but I think it is a much more open look and cleaner

I would have preferred a dome as well, but who was going to pay for the significant extra cost? Also, given inflation and that fact that this stadium is being built in NY, I suspect that the stadium will be over budget in any event.

 

People around the state of NY bitched and moaned about the cost and still do. 

 

Even at the cost of this stadium, I suspect that people also will complain about the seat licenses.

I predict by 2030 they will ask for a study to build a roof over the stadium. Another billion.

It really is.
