maybe for pure emotion...... but if Bills win Super Bowl on last play of game Allen diving in for TD.....I don't know if we will survive that emotion.

I would support and watch. USFL had the right idea. Could have lasted if they had followed more closely to the initial business model. Attendance was good for 2nd to NFL league and some cities great.

taxes pay for hundreds of things you don't use. Why? because then we expect the same people to help fund our fun. Sports fans deserve their piece of the pie. school district will not stop taking my property taxes when my kid graduates either.

lol correct. But Allen throwing in climate controlled dome will throw many more than outside. Did you not see Allen's long throws to deep open WR's take off sideways in the wind last year in Buffalo? vs Ravens Cost Bills two TD's. And the est for roof is 300 mill or about 5 to 7 mill a year prorated. Will more than pay for itself in increased tix sales alone. Not to mention it will lead to more wins causing increased ticket demand also.

not in Allen era. Weather was ok for the two wins. Kelly era team could run. Allen era can't

that was because Allen was playing and developing and bringing some excitement. And it was 30 degrees out.

LOL.....it is not. Have you watched the Bills play in that? They suck.

both. It cost more to build weatherproof and waterproof/mitigation open air and more to maintain. yeah me too. LOL crazy. It would be like Ford doing naming rights for a stadium in Tokyo.

that's bs. If you bet 10 and team wins 10 or more you should win the bet regardless of how many total games your bet plays. personally i feel a bet is a bet. If you place a bet you accept the risks that games may not be played for many reasons. And live with the results.

70k fans heat it up just like the Mall of America does. And with most games in fall and winter the need for AC will be almost non existent for Bills games. For other year round events yes will need AC. Don't make Carrier Dome mistake and build without AC. Any additional cost for this or the roof will be more than completely recovered by increased tix sales alone.

public money goes to non sports fans at a much much higher rate. Schools colleges Parks swimming pools Walmart super centers tif districts bike paths museums art gallery civic centers tourists sites public outdoor bb courts and baseball fields and hockey ice hike paths nature centers botanical gardens zoos etc etc....... sports fans just asking for a piece of the pie. and your est of how many Bills fans are in area and also est of how many fans want Bills to stay in WNY is absurdly way too low.

true, as it is now. But Jax got it by anchoring cruise ships for hotels(only would need a few) Future is unknown. What is known is no dome and none of those events i mentioned are possible.

this is completely backwards planning. Vocal minority of fans who want open air keep saying they want the weather experience. Why cover the fans? Cover the field and block the wind from the field. Impossible obviously. Must be dome or Bills will regret it just like Bears do now. This open air will be a 50 year mistake preventing pass oriented offense, which are all of the Super Bowl contenders, that is the way teams are built now and for foreseeable future they all want scoring. You want a JA Super Bowl? Must build a dome. Even WFT is planning a dome. Roof only cost 3 to 6 million or so prorated out for life of dome. Will more than pay for itself in tix sales alone not to mention other events: final four, bowl game, HS games, UB games, concerts, trade shows, motorcross, truck shows, frozen four, NCAA regional, Sabres game, combines for NHL or even NFL if they rotate some day, conventions if combined with convention center downtown........ Lucas Oil Filed is the model (w new MN Sofi LV translucent roof feels like you are outside)to follow and must be 70k or lose home field advantage also. Soldier Field is not loud at all. Been there numerous times. Pathetic.

they only play in warm climates not in winter. '

look no further than Lucas Oil Stadium on MNF. 70k+ in a dome was load AF and gave Colts homefield advantage boost. If Bills build 60k open air it will take away homefield advantage. This mistake will live with Bills for half a century. On par with the epic multi billion dollar Soldier Field redo mistake Bears are now realizing and trying hard to get out of. All Super Bowl contenders now are passing teams and open air in poor weather(especially Dec Jan playoff games) negates that advantage. Passing game not changing as all want high scores. I hope Bills / Pegs / Pols and fans, are paying attention. Don't make same mistake Bears now regret. Even WFT is planning on dome in DC.

positives: they won both games they played in these. At Oilers then MNF vs Broncos. negatives: sad reminder of Ralph's penny pinching ways. He did not want to spend for new white helmets and the normal throwback red grazing bison. The 1994 75th NFL anniversary season all teams had to wear throwbacks for one home and one away game. This was so all franchises could have a throwback game at home to celebrate NFL 75 yr anniversary. It also marked the end of the Super Bowl era for Bills by them not even making the playoffs as they faded after a nice 3-1 start to losing 4 of last 5 games.

yes. And Mark Maddox was a stud and still improving until he tore his ACL on MNF vs Browns doing what i always said is dangerous and players should never do. Just a little late to the tackle pile and instead of diving over it he hurdles and catches his leg under himself as he lands awkwardly and blows his ACL. I could have cried. 😥 Maybe diving would increase shoulder on elbow injury but i take that over ACL.

Klein is better football player at ML. Edmunds needs to play outside before i give him big deal.

interesting. NFL you might see different results. Worth experimenting with in preseason. Returners in previous situations when fair catch was an option, is now indicated, wanted, or desired with new halo rule. I think would simply catch ball with no one closer than 5 yards from him and just take a knee. Done deal and safer as no defender gets close like they do right now. Many times nearly brushing the return guy as he catches it. It might stop/reduce the holding calls as return team no longer needs to worry about a missed block causing return guy to get blown up and/or a serious injury. This calls for serious consideration i feel. Nothing worse than parade of holds on kicks. his point is the wr holding may have prevented a pic 6 by the db

Klein is a better ML than Edmunds. I still think Edmunds athletic ability is better suited as an OL. Edmunds can still be captain and call the plays.

put that way it makes perfect sense. to give props to McD for thinking like that though we have no way of knowing.

great, awesome, good to know, found some gear for you. And it supports good causes too. 😁 https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=shop&q=nfl+buffalo+bills+pink+apparel+gear&tbs=vw:g,pdtr0:4015704|4015465&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjn8v3Bjtz0AhWDd28EHYNiCDQQzJkGegQIAhAX

it has been worn by every football team since the invention of American and Canadian style football. And, it bothers you now?? 😂

one(1) at a time. 😎

Highmark design allows common lake effect wind direction to howl through from one end zone and then drop down as lower level is in a hole heading for other end zone. The hole and the slope of terrain is higher on prevailing wind side and lower on other end zone causing speed increase. You get venturi effect of stadium design to also go along with terrain drop causing speed increase and swirling like no other in NFL. Like a wind tunnel. This site has highest avg windspeeds in NFL since being built even without taking into the effect the design which enhances winds. Engineers at the time did not research well. Should have been a dome. Or at least high walls on prevailing wind entry point.
