Eastport bills Posted December 16 Posted December 16 This is obviously a decision that was made thinking the home field advantage is maximized by terrible weather. Unfortunately with this historically talented QB, it just inconveniences fans and will limit our advantage. 2 Quote

Two home games left, so it’s not really half his games. It’s not just the cold but the wind, weather has affected most home games and we still have the most impactful quarter to go Quote
skibum Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Last two games proved Allen deserved an MVP crown on his dome. 1 Quote
ILBillsfan Posted December 16 Posted December 16 100% agree watching this team in domes...... there is some truth to the come to Bufflao and play in our weather too but there are still outside teams used to it two in the division and then KC/Balt/Pitt/Cinci and those teams you can probably say each year you will face in the playoffs not really and advantage if anything if those teams have a bad defense you limit the offense some Quote

The only thing that can stop him is Zaney Buffalo weather where talent is omitted and the luckier team wins. Just think it was short sighted to know you have the best player in the world why would you not want him to have the best possible playing conditions. How often does a team have the clear cut best best QB in the league? It may never happen for Buffalo again. We have 9 more years or so with him I just wish half his games weren’t a coin flip cause of weather. Good effin Lord...I wish these dome people would just stop. Nice skirt. Vikings are pimping their "Winter" Uni's tonite....in a freaking dome. Quote
boater Posted December 16 Posted December 16 Dome or No Dome, it is a moot point now. People act as if a dome was a real option. It was never on the table, people weren't willing to spend the extra billion. We're lucky we got what we did. 1 Quote

The folks complaining that a dome isn’t being built are ignoring the fact that funding was never there. Even getting the new open air stadium was a budget struggle as the rest of New York wasn’t too keen on forking up money to pay for it. 2 Quote

It really could be that the fact that the governor is from WNY is why the money was available. I don't live in NY anymore so I don't have a good idea whether Hochul is a good governor or not, but in this case she helped get the stadium built and the locked in the Bills to stay in town. Quote
mannc Posted Monday at 04:05 PM Posted Monday at 04:05 PM It’s going to be a relief playing against rookie Drake Maye and the corpse of Aaron Rodgers the next three weeks… Quote
Nuncha Posted Monday at 04:12 PM Posted Monday at 04:12 PM (edited) The solution for you is simple. Be a fan of a dome team, not the Bills. Josh Allen is unstoppable right now period. I don't care where he plays. Edited Monday at 04:15 PM by Nuncha Quote

The new stadium design is supposed reduce the wind drastically. We’ll see. Quote
Logic Posted Monday at 04:47 PM Posted Monday at 04:47 PM People acting like there won't be serious wind mitigation in the new stadium and like the field won't be heated. Also, to reiterate: in the past three seasons, the Bills are 23-3 at home. TWENTY-THREE AND THREE. The Bills ALREADY have an elite home field advantage! Quote
Mister Defense Posted Monday at 05:05 PM Posted Monday at 05:05 PM Yuk, what an awful thought, the Bills without the natural elements. It is part of this town, part of this team. Sooo happy the Bills made the right decision and kept the lid off the new stadium. Quote
Returntoglory Posted Monday at 05:24 PM Posted Monday at 05:24 PM I'm sorry and I know I'll get flamed here BUT I strongly feel that the playing environment for all teams, should be equal. Domed, controlled air temp, field surface. All should be the same specifications around the league. I've been watching the NFL since I was a teen starting in the 70's. I loved going to Bills games in the dead of winter , in horrendous conditions. It was " Fun" for this teenager and later as an adult. But the older I had become, the more miserable the game conditions became apparent and watching the games LIVE was brutal at times and not enjoyable. Then the ride home after a loss when we're already miserable from the game conditions, well, those who know, know that feeling. I get those who feel it's an " advantage" for us to play in crap weather, but it's also a disadvantage as well. Bad weather cuts both ways. I'd much rather see my team play in optimal conditions. I'd much rather see my QB RB, receivers, lineman, etc. Play in the best conditions. I'd also love to host a SuperBowl in OP. As it presently stands, that will never happen. 18 hours ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Damn it! Good thing we went up 14-0 2 Quote
Mrbojanglezs Posted Monday at 05:29 PM Posted Monday at 05:29 PM Allen aside. It makes no sense to spend 1.3 billion now over 2 billion on a new stadium in a location that is regularly exposed to 2-3 feet lake effect snow storms. Quote

Look all superbowls are played in domes or warm environments, Terry should have opted for a damn dome. 1 Quote
