Again I also understand your point… But If the worst season we did was 90% capacity… That’s still really not a concern The weak teams below us are in the 80% 70% range , that’s a problem The 17 years of no playoffs absolutely weakened some spirits 100% regardless of today We also led the league in attendance in 1990.. So if we win consistently it’s gonna come back It’s coming back… The drought spurned a lot of people

Oh absolutely not… -
Again I think everybody has a different Opinion of good attendance and tickets sold is what really matters I went back four Seasons… The lowest attendance for any December or January game was 60,000… the snowbowl for Indy Before the patriots playoff game last year trolls were talking about how many tickets were for sale… Not mentioning the fact that those were all secondary tickets… It doesn’t matter if there’s 10,000 tickets for sale on the secondary market, Because those 10,000 were already bought from Pegula Not to mention 10000 Season ticket holders are from Canada or Syracuse or Rochester or out of state… And they all can’t make the game… and lots bought playoff tickets Hence why 10 thousand tickets go on the secondary market I called the Buffalo Bills 4 days before the patriots game.. To see how many actual tickets left from the box office there were… I was told less than 300 So they sold them all… Which is what actually matters

Again I fully understand that I understand there’s a lot of older people who would like A dome … If we didn’t have such a rabid Fanbase who embraced everything it might be easier to go that route of a dome But we have 50+ years of embracing the weather despite what some people say that we don’t show up It’s basically if it’s not broke don’t fix it
-
I fully understand that point My father has been going to games since the rockpile He’s as Buffalo as you get… Season ticket holder for a long time Even as an old timer he understands the stadium experience is built for the younger crowd… The tailgating, Open air, The shenanigans When it gets too cold for him he just watches at home.. He honestly doesn’t complain, He actually likes it better with his HD TV… But he understands the youngins will brave it out He voted no dome on his survey knowing he can’t go to every game And being a purest of the sport

Drafting Jordan love was insanely stupid can sum up how they had Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers for 30 years and only have 2 SBs Mahomes has had an offensive guru and better offensive talent around him not to mention his play has peaked … Having watched his last 40 starts I don’t see any more progress Josh is still on the incline while pat has peaked.. Mahomes is great but he’s not evolving as a quarterback I think it’s clear to the people in the NFL that Josh is on that level and also getting better

That’s your opinion and not a fact PTR HSBC is enclosed and it’s super empty… They don’t show up because it’s an inside venue If/when the bills go back to being not good.. Those same attendance issues you’re talking about will pop back up in December… dome or no dome
-
Again it depends what you consider low I don’t consider 60,000 low and neither does the NFL or Terry Pegula At the peak of the drought maybe they had a game where they drew 48000 which is really bad , but that will never happen again
-
I think fans blow this dramatically reduced attendance out of proportion Yeah during The 17 year drought maybe we had some low attendance numbers When the bills are doing good there’s not dramatically reduced attendance at the Ralph… What do you consider drastically reduced? 40k ? Because that doesn’t happen I went back four seasons and the lowest attended game was the snow bowl game against the Colts… 60k… Still brought 60k and sold more That’s not drastically reduced.. The NFL and Terry Pegula is perfectly fine with 60,000… Hence why the new stadium will be that size
-
Nobody is forcing anybody to go to a football game tho It’s been open air for 50+ years… You know what you’re dealing with … if you don’t want to go , fans can stay home And there are plenty of fans who do want to keep open air.. 75% of the people didn’t say dome on the survey and then they just chose open air
-
And we’ve always dealt with it
-
All of those tickets were bought first hand first for face value it absolutely doesn’t matter to the league or the pegulas what the secondary market goes for the tickets sold originally … that’s the only fact if 70k were sold and only 62k showed up … well pegulas still sold 70k

I went back four seasons… The lowest attendance for any game in December or January … 60000… the snow bowl game 2017 I mean we didn’t win for 17 years.. I’m sure there were some games we brought in 50k That’s not happening with Josh Allen
-
I think that depends what you consider trouble selling games? 40,000 would be trouble We have no problem selling 60,000-65000 which is what the new stadium will be And with the NFL Revenue sharing attendance isn’t a number one or two factor… So 60,000 is not trouble to me
-
I highly doubt less seats means more levels… The actual physical size of the stadium will be bigger but I doubt the bowl will be bigger with 10,000 less seats Just the concourse area and such They said they’re trying to get fans closer to the field… And it may only hold 62,000 but there will be a party deck with 5000 fans is what they are planning
-
I predict that we’ve gone 50+ years without one we don’t need it Foxborough, Lambo, Pittsburgh, The two New Jersey teams, Philadelphia, Cleveland All open-air We’ve always embraced it
-
Probably not many Open air to most people means no covering… Nobody who is pro open air is like damn not that many seat coverings If there was zero Besides the clubs I wouldn’t care

Just send him a tweet I’m sure he’ll DM it
