jax bill backer Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I was just wondering for the people who have traveled to different cities to watch NFL games.... I was just wondering if anybody can name a stadium worse than the Ralph..The reason why I say that is because I keep hearing that RWS is the worst..the only one I could think of was Mcaffe Coliseum in Oakland.... Does anybody have anything else.

Does anybody have anything else. I go tp every home game and can't complain, the seats are fine, the parkign is still cheap compared to others, the vending is ok. The only chanegi would make would be more or bigger bathrooms, sometimes the line is long
NyQuil Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 The Ralph is dark, dirty, windy, cold and has long lines for the bathrooms which result in the use of sinks. In short it is everything a football stadium should be.

jax bill backer Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 define "worse" As in stadium appearance.... seats which I know are horrible at the ralph... and anything else you want to throw in there like food, parking, etc....
EndZoneCrew Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 As in stadium appearance.... seats which I know are horrible at the ralph How so...like the comfort or viewing on the field?
NyQuil Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 As in stadium appearance.... seats which I know are horrible at the ralph... and anything else you want to throw in there like food, parking, etc.... You clearly aren't drinking enough.
jax bill backer Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 How so...like the comfort or viewing on the field? comfort... those damn steel benches are horrible and should not be in any kind of stadium..leave them at high school fields. and little league baseball games uhhh
silvermike Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I've only been to the Ralph and Giants stadium, and honestly, I liked the experience much better at RWS. Of course, it helps being there to support the home team, and Giants Stadium is due to be ripped up anyway.
jax bill backer Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 You clearly aren't drinking enough. please can you just answer about the thread i made then contributing nothing but dumass remarks
Virgil Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Go to FedEx. By far the worst parking, worst seating, worst angles to the field, and better yet they have huge pillars that block the view from some of their seats. Total dump
jax bill backer Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 i heard Fed ex was nice...lots of in stadium restraunts and such
EndZoneCrew Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 comfort... those damn steel benches are horrible and should not be in any kind of stadium..leave them at high school fields. and little league baseball games uhhh I am more "old school" than most and I actually prefer the benches. I have been to 5 other stadiums to watch the Bills and I just feel like the comfort of a nice plush seat belongs indoors and not outdoors....
The Dean Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I was just wondering for the people who have traveled to different cities to watch NFL games.... I was just wondering if anybody can name a stadium worse than the Ralph..The reason why I say that is because I keep hearing that RWS is the worst..the only one I could think of was Mcaffe Coliseum in Oakland.... Does anybody have anything else. The Ralph is nowhere close to the worst stadium in the league. For starters, it is a far superior place to watch a game than the dump in Jacksonville.
EndZoneCrew Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 i heard Fed ex was nice...lots of in stadium restraunts and such I was at the game in '07 and while it was "new" and "nice", I just felt confined (right on top of people). Even the aisleways getting to my seats were barely narrow enough for 2 people to through.
NyQuil Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 please can you just answer about the thread i made then contributing nothing but dumass remarks Lighten up. You need to define worse. FedEx has horrible sight lines. Giants Stadium is nice all around until the wind whips through it. College: Happy Valley - Incredible atmosphere, horrible bathrooms. Syracuse - No one tailgating, decent sightlines in the stadium. UB Stadium -

It is becoming the Lambeau field of the AFC. that and arrowhead still maintain home field advantage: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story.../partone/081121

It is becoming the Lambeau field of the AFC. that and arrowhead still maintain home field advantage: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story.../partone/081121 this is the important part : "That brewing disenfranchisement keeps popping up at these home games. You can not hear it, if that makes sense. And not just in New England. Thirteen teams have built SOTAS (state-of-the-art stadiums) since 1999; 14 if you include Daniel Snyder's overhauling of FedEx Field in 2004. Each stadium follows a similar let's-rake-in-the-cash blueprint. The first section of seats hug the field. At the top of those sections, the club seats start. That's followed by a phalanx of premium luxury suites. More luxury suites dominate the second section. And the majority of blue-collar fans are crammed into the upper decks. Fundamentally, it's a flawed way to cultivate a home-field advantage; beyond the emotional compromises and festering resentment of the blue-collar fans, the newer stadiums don't reverberate noise the same. Look at Lambeau or Ralph Wilson Stadium -- just rows and rows of fans, one after the other, rising for something like 75 rows before you hit your first luxury box. Watching the Browns-Bills game Monday night, I found myself enjoying the fans as much as the contest itself. Now this was football!"
