GottaRun

Buddy I tailgate with has been working on the stadium since almost the beginning (concrete*), they were told all work had to wrap up 3 hours prior to kickoff and no staying on site for parking. * I thought they would be close to done concrete but he was saying even the roof had a concrete pour involved in it, something to do with the roof heating system

I left, it was 11pm, I was exhausted, and it's 90 - 120 minutes to walk to my car/drive home. Happy for those who stayed, don't get the hate for the ones who left. Clearly the team noticed people leaving and it annoyed them. Clearly the results improved when we left. We'll never know if the leavers made a difference or if the Bills D was due some successes and they finally got them.

Reading various interviews today and in one of them Josh mentioned 3 times about fans leaving early. I applaud everyone who stayed but I also think the leavers had the desired affect on the team, they clearly locked in when the stands started to thin out. Maybe it was just a coincidence, maybe not.

A lot of fans left, and the play improved dramatically. Clearly Josh noticed large amounts of fans leaving.

Setting up early has to be arranged with Hammer, not something you can just do... and lol

Hammers Lot opens at noon for ravens vs Bills game.

I’ve been fooled many times before by week one, all I’ll say is that it’s always good to see the Chiefs take the loss, week 1 or otherwise

Thanks - so do you go up to Abbott?

PARKING Question - What's it like walking from Southwestern to the stadium this year? Can you walk through the ECC and across to Hammer's lot or do you need to go around the construction? On the latest stadium video it looks like the lot behind Hammers has been paved and lines painted... not sure if staff or anyone parks there or if it's all fenced off.

That’s where the high velocity t shirt cannons go

I'd say it's a white uniform but apparently "it’s the city’s DNA stitched into fabric"... gotta love those marketing folks...

Stadium is always quiet to start the 2nd half, kick the ball to start the game and know that the noise will be insane for the first series of the new season. Ravens will struggle. Don't want the Ravens getting the ball to start the 2nd half when it's super quiet.

Just start the 2026 Draft threads already, this season is wreck, 0 - 17 here we come 😀

What's it like from the front of the upper deck? Does it feel close to the field? The current sidelines go back up to 52 rows, the new stadium sideline seats don't go back that far, going off the images it seems that the front upper deck isn't any further back than the last row of the current lower bowl, it's just higher.

I'm a Canadian, I bought a PSL, all the Canadians I tailgate with bought PSLs... I suspect PSL price/value and some people struggling to pay bills played a bigger part in this. Ultimately I think the maximum number of seats will all go to season ticket holders. They still have 12 months to sell.
