Getting arrested and taken down to the OP jail sounds worth it. /s

Seeing as he is wearing a security vest ... I think he faked jumped in lol

 

No way he just was willing to lose his job for that

The pit does not care.  It has been sated. 🤣

If the Sheriff's Dept were smart/cool they'd have stuck an officer in the pit themselves and posted the picture on Twitter so everyone knows it's been taken care of. It's not like it's inaccessible.  The construction guys are down there every day.

He can do penance during the Super Bowl parade.

Be a sweet gig for a Sunday. Get him a chair, propane heater and just hang out in the pit

I wonder if they will put a webcam up 24-7-365 so fans check in to see the progress of the stadium being built over time. The Islanders did this when UBS was being built.

So I guess the jumping into the pit for “good luck” didn’t work last week? LOL

Just search "buffalo stadium live" on YouTube.  There's a live stream, as well as a weekly time lapse.  I've been watching it since early on in the process...

Did I hear right they expect the stadium to be completed by June 1, 2026? If that happens to be the case I wonder if the Buffalo Bills are the first event or if they are going to schedule some concerts before the Bills preseason? Hopefully the new Bills stadium is everything Bills fans want in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo

If I remember an earlier article, they expect to have enough completed by the 2026 season to have games, but it won't be final until before the 2027 season.

So you’re saying the full dome won’t be installed until the second season? 😁

Ha.  They should put signs up in the new stadium’s concourse: “ROOF TO BE FINISHED SOON.  PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER.”

So the multi billion dollar organization doesn’t have a webcam up & running, but some tailgaters parking lot across the street does!? And that’s all we got!? Nice. 🙄

Are the Bills obligated to live stream construction? Was it in the contract?

[Captain Caveman]

Any guesses as to when we'll hear more about PSLs?

These webcams are generally provided by the Construction Team…in this case Turner, one of the largest companies in the world. They use them to promote their work and progress. Unfortunately on a project as large as an NFL stadium it’s hard to pick an angle whose sight line won’t get blocked by the actual building at some point. When that happens we typically ask them to move it every few months.

Been wondering that myself since about 9 months ago when reps were saying expect it in the spring time last year. Here we are a year later and still nothing
